Nottingham City Council has issued an update to try to ease congestion through the area.
Nottingham City Council said:
‘This week has been a difficult one for those travelling around Maid Marian Way.
‘We’re making important changes to improve connectivity in this part of the city, including upgrading the roundabout to a T-junction, which has led to traffic delays.
‘We knew this would be a difficult time and our teams have been working hard to balance the needs of buses, drivers and pedestrians. They have been on-site around the clock monitoring traffic flow, tweaking signal timings and signage and road markings to help traffic run as smoothly as possible – and the good news is that these changes are reducing delays.
‘Despite months of planning with our partners including the bus operators, delays were inevitable and for this we apologise. If it’s possible, allow more time to plan your journey and consider using alternative routes. Please be assured we will continue to do everything we can to monitor and improve the situation.
New routes have been opened to cars to ease congestion:
Mount Street right turn is now open for southbound traffic – please note, the LEFT turn is for buses only. If you want to head north, use Park Row
Park Row left turn is open for northbound traffic
Cars are now able to turn right from Tollhouse Hill onto Derby Road
The Future High Streets government-funded Maid Marian Way project will continue until summer 2025 – once complete, the new T-junction will be a more welcoming gateway to the city with greenery, rain gardens and improved facilities for cyclists and pedestrians.
