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

Rushcliffe's motorists will have four 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 under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that four closures are due to start over the next two weeks:

• A453, from 8am December 11 to 3pm December 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A453 northbound and southbound, Thrumpton to Wilford, diversion route via National Highways network for works on local authority network.

• A46, from 9am to 3pm on December 12, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 southbound, Widmerpool, Lane closure due to maintenance works.

• A46, from 8pm December 12 to 6am December 13, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A46 northbound, Saxondale, Lane closures for electrical works.

• A52, from 8pm December 14 to 6am December 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Radcliffe-on-Trent, 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.
