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

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

But the news isn't too bad, with both of them 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:

• A1, from 8pm December 8 2023 to 6am January 27 2024, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, North Muskham to Apleyhead, slip road, lane and lay-by closures for barrier repairs, diversion via national highways and local authority network.

And one more closure will begin over the next two weeks:

• A1, from 8pm December 16 to 5am December 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 southbound, Winthorpe, slip road and lane closures due to maintenance work, diversion via National Highways 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.
