Road closures: five for Rushcliffe drivers this week

Drivers in and around Rushcliffe will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

And one of them is expected to cause severe delays – with motorists facing a wait of at least 30 minutes. Another will cause moderate delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

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 January 7 2022 to 8pm April 6 2023, severe delays (more than 30 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Gamston, carriageway, lane closures and 24/7 narrow lanes due to improvement works, diversion route via National Highways and local authority network.

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

• A46, from 8pm March 22 to 5am March 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound, Widmerpool junction, exit slip road and lane closure for maintenance works, diversion via National Highways network and Local authority network.

• A52, from 8pm March 24 to 5am March 25, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Radcliffe On Trent, temporary traffic signals for electrical works.

• A453, from 8pm March 24 to 5am March 25, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A453 northbound, Ratcliffe on Soar, exit slip road and lane closures for maintenance works, diversion via National Highways network and local authority network.

• A453, from 8pm March 27 to 6am March 31, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A453 northbound and southbound, Crusader to Thrumpton, Lane closure due to works on behalf of National Highways.

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