Road closures: six for Newark and Sherwood drivers this week

Drivers in and around Newark and Sherwood will have six 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 one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A46, from 8pm April 18 to 6am April 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Gamston to Bingham, Layby and lane closures with traffic signals due to maintenance work.

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

• A46, from 8pm April 24 to 5am April 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46, A617 to Brownhills, temporary traffic signals due to barrier repairs.

• A1, from 9am April 27 to 5pm May 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Claypole to long Bennington, diversion route for works on local authority network.

• A1, from 8pm April 29 to 5am April 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound, Carlton On Trent to Weston, Lane closure due to maintenance works.

• 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.

• A46, from 8pm May 3 to 5am May 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 Cattlemarket to Farndon, traffic signals due to maintenance works.

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