Road closures: six for Rushcliffe drivers this week

Drivers in and around Rushcliffe will have six 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.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A52, from 8am March 2 to 11.59pm March 8, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 Radcliffe, Verge works due to works on behalf of Cadent Gas.

• 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 7 to 5am March 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52/A46 eastbound and westbound, Bingham to Saxondale, Lane closures due to maintenance work.

• A42, from 8pm March 13 to 6am March 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1, A42 and A453 northbound and southbound, Kegworth to Shepshed, diversion route via National Highways network and local authority network.

• A46, from 8pm March 15 to 6am March 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Burton On The Wolds to Wanlip diversion route due to works on behalf of Leicestershire County Council.

• A46, from 8pm March 17 to 6am March 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound and southbound, Bingham, Lane closures and narrow lanes due to maintenance work.

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