Road closures: two for Newark and Sherwood drivers this week

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

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with motorists facing a wait of between 10 and 30 minutes.

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

• A1, from 1pm March 27 to 6am April 1, 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.

• 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.

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