New emergency roadworks are affecting bus services in Hucknall, and Nottingham City Transport is reporting delays on Wollaton Vale.
Rail passengers face the final night of planned engineering alterations between London St Pancras and Nottingham.
Roads and motorways
A52 – overnight closures near Nottingham and the M1
A52 – further closures tonight
M1 junction 25 westbound entry
The A52 westbound entry from the M1 junction 25 roundabout is scheduled to close again tonight, reopening at 06:00 on Saturday 14 November.
Sedgebrook to Barrowby
A further A52 carriageway closure is listed in both directions between Sedgebrook and Barrowby for maintenance, continuing overnight into Saturday.
These are planned restrictions, not emergency closures. Motorists should follow signed diversions and check for changes before travelling this evening.
Nottingham – Maid Marian Way and Greyfriar Gate
The most significant change to Nottingham’s city-centre road network this week is the scheduled removal of the Maid Marian Way contraflow.
Homes England confirmed that both directions of Maid Marian Way, including the bus lane, and Greyfriar Gate would reopen at midnight on Wednesday 11 November, approximately two weeks ahead of schedule.
However, reinstatement work continues on traffic islands, kerbs and street lighting. Temporary traffic lights remain at the Canal Street junction, and further minor disruption is possible until the end of November.
The latest morning information has not independently established whether all bus routes have returned to their previous stopping arrangements.
A52 Wheatcroft – lane closures continue
National Highways’ A52 junction improvement programme continues at Wheatcroft Roundabout.
The authority expects utility diversion work and associated lane restrictions to remain in place until the end of November.
The vegetation clearance works at Nottingham Knight were scheduled to finish on 6 November, with the associated traffic management removed afterwards.
Further restrictions are expected at Nottingham Knight during December, ahead of the next phase of utility works in January 2027.
The A52 remains an important route to monitor during peak periods, particularly for traffic travelling between Bingham, Gamston, West Bridgford and Nottingham.

Rail – final day of engineering alterations
East Midlands Railway’s published engineering programme between Wellingborough and Leicester continues until tonight, Friday 13 November.
The 23:35 London St Pancras International to Nottingham service is scheduled to operate to an amended timetable.
It will depart Leicester at 01:52, approximately 24 minutes later than usual, and will not call at Market Harborough.
Replacement buses are scheduled between Kettering and Market Harborough and between Market Harborough and Leicester.
These are confirmed planned timetable alterations, rather than newly reported service failures.
Nottinghamshire rail network – incident check
No major new unplanned disruption has been independently confirmed for Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop, Newark or Retford.
However, the accessible National Rail information did not establish a complete live departure-board picture for this morning.
The status of individual EMR, Northern, CrossCountry and LNER departures therefore remains unverified.
