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.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a holdup of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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

• A46, from 8pm May 2 to 6am May 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Cattle Market to Winthorpe, Lane closures for survey works.

And a further three closures will begin over the next seven days:

• A1, from 8pm May 12 to 5am May 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Foston to Long Bennington, Lane closure for maintenance works,.

• A1, from 1pm May 15 to 6am May 17, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Winthorpe to Barrowby, carriageway, slip roads, lane and lay-by closures for maintenance works, diversion via national highways and local authority network.

• A46, from 8pm May 17 to 5am May 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 southbound, Newark to Flintham, slip road and lane closures for maintenance works, diversion route via National Highways network and local authority network.

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