Motorists and public transport passengers are being advised to check their journeys this morning following disruption caused by Storm Boelo over the weekend.
New overnight closures also begin on the A52 between Bingham and Barrowby, while roadworks affect several Nottingham bus routes.
On the railway, Storm Boelo caused disruption between Nottingham and Alfreton on Sunday. National Rail issued a fresh warning at 05:48 today that some disruption could continue because of the storm’s effects.
The A52 westbound weekend closure at Wheatcroft was scheduled to finish at 06:00 this morning. Further A52 closures begin tonight near Bingham and M1 junction 25.
In Nottingham, Maid Marian Way remains subject to severe congestion warnings, while new daytime closures begin in Bramcote and Killisick.
Roads and motorways
M1, A1, A46 and A52
No new major collision or emergency closure has been independently confirmed on Nottinghamshire’s M1, A1, A46 or A52 in the early reports checked.
A52 Wheatcroft – weekend closure scheduled to end
The major weekend closure of the A52 westbound Gamston Link Road between Gamston Island and Wheatcroft Island was scheduled to finish at 06:00 today.
The road has been closed since 20:00 on Friday 23 October for utility diversion works associated with the Wheatcroft junction improvement programme.
The closure affected traffic travelling westbound towards Nottingham and required diversions for several trentbarton services.
The scheduled reopening time has been confirmed.
Motorists should remain alert for any delayed reopening or residual congestion during the morning peak.
A52 Bingham to Barrowby – new overnight closures begin tonight
One of the most significant new roadworks programmes begins this evening.
The A52 between Bingham and Barrowby will close in stages overnight from Monday 26 October until Friday 6 November.
The restrictions operate between 20:00 and 06:00.
The programme involves drainage improvements, safety barrier inspections, road sweeping, vegetation clearance and grass cutting.
The first phase begins tonight and continues for three nights, affecting the section between Saxondale Roundabout and Grantham Road at Whatton.
Further phases are scheduled as follows:
| Dates | Section affected |
|---|---|
| 26–28 October | Saxondale Roundabout to Grantham Road, Whatton |
| 29–31 October | Grantham Road, Whatton to Grantham Road, Bottesford |
| 3–6 November | Grantham Road, Bottesford to Barrowby |
A signed diversion will operate in both directions using the A46 and A1 via Newark.
Lay-bys along the A52 between Bingham and Barrowby will also close continuously from 13:00 today until 06:00 on Saturday 7 November.
Access arrangements will be provided for affected residents and businesses.
The programme is weather-dependent, and National Highways warns that dates may change.
A52 at M1 junction 25 – further overnight closure
National Highways has also scheduled further overnight lighting improvement works on the A52 around M1 junction 25.
The programme includes a westbound carriageway closure over the M1 junction 25 interchange, beginning tonight.
Works are generally scheduled between 20:00 and 06:00.
The National Highways webpage contains an inconsistency in the published end date for this phase, so the precise final night requires confirmation.
A further westbound closure between Bardills Roundabout and M1 junction 25 is scheduled for Friday 30 October.
The restrictions form part of the programme to replace existing roadside lighting with more energy-efficient LED equipment.
Maid Marian Way – severe congestion warning continues
Demolition of the former Broad Marsh NCP car park continues to affect traffic through Nottingham city centre.
The temporary contraflow remains in operation, with restricted road capacity and temporary traffic signals.
Nottingham City Transport continues to carry a warning that the demolition works have caused severe congestion across the city centre and surrounding roads.
Its standing service notice warns of severe delays and short-notice cancellations.
This is an ongoing operator warning rather than confirmation that individual journeys have been cancelled this morning.
City-centre bus diversions
The temporary stopping arrangements remain in operation.
Turquoise 77/C, 78/A/B and 79/B services travel via Talbot Street, Shakespeare Street and North Church Street before terminating on Burton Street alongside The Cornerhouse.

Navy 1, 4 and 48/A, together with Pathfinder 90, are not serving Maid Marian Way stop M5 outside the former college on journeys towards the city centre.
