Nottingham road closures: two for motorists to avoid this week

Nottingham's motorists will have two road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that both of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

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

• A52, from 8pm May 12 to 5am May 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound, Queens Drive to Nottingham Knight, Lane closures for maintenance works.

• A453, from 8pm May 15 to 6am June 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52/A453 eastbound and westbound and northbound and southbound, Dunkirk to Nottingham Knight roundabout, carriageway, slip roads 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.
