The A453 in Nottinghamshire is closed northbound between The Crusader Roundabout A52 near (Clifton) to allow for emergency resurfacing works to take place following a serious collision which occurred in the early hours of the morning.
The road has been closed in both directions throughout the day to allow for collision investigation works, clear-up and recovery to take place.
Unfortunately a significant fuel spillage has damaged the road surface on the northbound carriageway which now requires a full resurface. This will be taking place overnight tonight.
