Road closures: seven for Rushcliffe drivers over the next fortnight

Drivers in and around Rushcliffe will have seven 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:

• A52, from 8am August 28 to 5.30pm October 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Radcliffe on Trent, Narrow lanes due to works on behalf of Severn Trent Water.

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

• A46, from 1pm September 18 to 5am September 19, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 southbound, Old Dalby to Six Hills, slip road, Lay-By and lane closures due to maintenance work, diversion via National Highways and local authority network.

• A52, from 8pm September 20 to 5am September 21, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 westbound, Nottingham Knight roundabout to Silverdale, Lane closure due to maintenance work.

• A52, from 8pm September 25 to 6am September 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Bingham to Barrowby, Lane closures or temporary traffic signals due to maintenance works.

• A46, from 8pm September 25 to 5am September 26, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound, Owthorpe to Stragglethorpe, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A46, from 9pm September 28 to 5am September 30, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Bingham to Radcliffe on Trent, diversion route via National Highways network for works on local authority network.

• A52, from 2am September 30 to 9am October 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Bingham to Barrowby, Lane closures due to horticultural works.

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