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

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

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• A46, from 8pm January 7 2022 to 8pm May 30 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 five closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• A453, from 8pm June 9 to 6am June 15, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A453 northbound and southbound, Ratcliffe on Soar to Crusader Roundabout, Lane closures due to cyclical maintenance.

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