Road closures: five for Newark and Sherwood drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Newark and Sherwood will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But the news isn't too bad, with all of them only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A1, from 8pm January 29 to 6am March 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Saxondale to Barrowby, carriageway closure due to construction works, diversion via National Highways network and local authority network.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A52, from 9.30am February 5 to 2.30pm February 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Bingham to Barrowby, mobile lane closures due to maintenance work.

• A1, from 8pm February 5 to 6am February 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, North Muskham, Lane closures due to drainage works.

• A1, from 8pm February 9 to 5am February 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Tuxford to Carlton-On-Trent, Lane closures due to barrier repairs.

• A46, from 8pm February 12 to 6am February 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Farndon, Lane closures for electrical works.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
