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:

• M1, from 8pm August 14 to 6am September 16, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M1 northbound and southbound, junction 22 to junction 23, Lane closures for maintenance works.

• 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 three closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A52, from 8pm September 4 to 5am September 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound, Radcliffe on Trent, temporary traffic signals for horticultural works.

• A52, from 8pm September 10 to 6am September 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound, Nottingham Knight to Wheatcroft, Layby and lane closure due to works on behalf of Virgin.

• A453, from 8pm September 11 to 5am September 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A453 eastbound, M1, junction 24 to Mill Hill, Lane closure for maintenance works.

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