Rushcliffe road closures: seven for motorists to avoid this week

Rushcliffe's motorists will have seven road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause major delays – with drivers facing a holdup of at least 30 minutes.

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

• A453, from 8pm April 14 to 6am April 26, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound and westbound, Silverdale to Radcliffe on Trent, carriageway and lane closures due to maintenance works.

• A46, from 8pm January 7 2022 to 8pm May 2 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:

• A1, from 9am April 27 to 5pm May 1, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A1 northbound and southbound, Claypole to long Bennington, diversion route for works on local authority network.

• A52, from 8pm April 27 to 5am April 28, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 eastbound, Nottingham Knight roundabout, Lane closures due to maintenance work.

• A453, from 8pm May 2 to 5am May 3, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A453 northbound and southbound, Wilford, carriageway and lane closure due to maintenance work, diversion via National Highways network.

• A52, from 8pm May 3 to 5am May 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A52 Saxondale to Radcliffe, traffic signals due to 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.
