Road closures: five for Rushcliffe drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Rushcliffe will have five 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 December 1 to 6am December 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52/A46 eastbound and westbound, Gamston to Bingham, Lane closures due to maintenance work.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A46, from 8pm December 8 to 6am December 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 southbound, Bingham, slip road lane closure due to maintenance work.

• A453, from 8am December 11 to 3pm December 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A453 northbound and southbound, Thrumpton to Wilford, diversion route via National Highways network for works on local authority network.

• A46, from 8pm December 12 to 6am December 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound, Saxondale, Lane closures for electrical works.

• A52, from 8pm December 14 to 6am December 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Radcliffe-on-Trent, temporary traffic signals for electrical works.

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