Rushcliffe road closures: five for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Rushcliffe's motorists will have five 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 all 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 already in place are expected to carry on this week:

• A52, from 12.16pm July 4 to 4.30pm July 10, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 Whatton, Gap closure due to works being undertaken on behalf of Cadent Gas.

• A52, from 8pm July 3 to 6am July 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Gamston to Radclifffe on Trent, Lane closure and traffic signals for, junction improvement works.

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

• A46, from 8pm July 13 to 6am July 14, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 westbound, Bingham, Lane closures due to maintenance work.

• M1, from 8pm July 17 to 5am July 18, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound, junction 23 to junction 23a, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• A52, from 8pm July 24 to 5am July 27, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Radcliffe on Trent to Saxondale, 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.
