Road closures: four for Newark and Sherwood drivers this week

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

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures are due to start this week:

• A1, from 8pm April 4 to 6am April 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Newark on Trent to Swinderby, slip road and lane closure due to maintenance works, diversion via National Highways network and local authority network.

• A1, from 8pm April 11 to 5am April 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Long Bennington to Claypole, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A52, from 8pm April 14 to 6am April 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Bingham to Barrowby, Lane closures due to maintenance works.

• A46, from 8pm April 17 to 6am April 22, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound, Farndon Island to Brown Hills roundabout, temporary traffic signals for survey works.

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