Weather – yellow fog warning until 11am

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for fog covering Nottinghamshire and much of the East Midlands.

The warning came into force at 18:00 on Sunday 8 November and remains in place until 11:00 today, Monday 9 November.

Fog developed during Sunday evening and overnight, with extensive patches expected by Monday morning.

Some locations could experience visibility of approximately 50 metres or less.

The Met Office warns that the conditions could cause slower road journeys, delays to bus and rail services, and disruption to flights.

Fog is expected to thin gradually later this morning, although some patches may persist.

Motorists are advised to allow additional time, reduce speed where visibility is poor and use fog lights when necessary.

The warning covers the morning commuting period and could affect journeys on the M1, A1, A46, A52 and rural roads throughout Nottinghamshire.

Roads and motorways

A52 Nottingham Knight – severe delays warning continues

Major highway works continue at Nottingham Knight Roundabout.

Nottingham City Transport maintains its warning that lane closures at the junction are causing severe delays across southern Nottingham.

The operator says additional works at Wheatcroft Roundabout and on Radcliffe Road are contributing to queuing and displaced traffic.

The warning affects Navy, Green and Grey Line services, together with Pathfinder 90.

Affected routes include:

The warning was introduced on Wednesday 4 November and remains listed on NCT’s current service updates page.

The works are particularly relevant to motorists and bus passengers travelling between Ruddington, West Bridgford, Gamston, Clifton and Nottingham city centre.

A52 Wheatcroft – continuing lane restrictions

The National Highways improvement programme continues around Wheatcroft Roundabout.

The works include utility diversions ahead of the main junction improvements.

Lane closures and reduced speed limits have been introduced around the junction.

National Highways previously confirmed that the current advance works are expected to continue through November, with traffic restrictions scheduled to be lifted during December while off-network work continues.

Further work is expected around Nottingham Knight from January 2027.

The programme has generated substantial congestion on the A52 and surrounding roads, including routes through West Bridgford and Ruddington.

The overnight maintenance programme between Bingham and Barrowby was scheduled to finish on Friday 6 November and should not be carried forward as an active closure without fresh confirmation.

West Bridgford – Abbey Road closure continues

Roadworks on Abbey Road remain scheduled until Tuesday 10 November.

NCT confirms that Green 12, 12C and 12E are continuing along Davies Road rather than following their normal route through Abbey Road.

The affected stops include Abbey Road at Davies Road, Violet Road and Cyril Road on Radcliffe Road.

The diversion began on Tuesday 3 November.

The closure was originally associated with a gas leak and has also affected trentbarton services travelling towards Cotgrave, Radcliffe-on-Trent and Bingham.

NCT’s current notice gives 10 November as the scheduled final day.

The actual reopening time has not been confirmed.

Radcliffe Road – daytime traffic lights

Temporary traffic lights continue on Radcliffe Road near Abbey Road.

The restrictions are scheduled between 09:30 and 15:30, with the programme continuing until Friday 4 December.

The works involve improvements to pedestrian and cycling facilities, including changes to the crossing arrangements.

NCT warns that Green 12 and Pathfinder 90 may experience delays.

The traffic lights are separate from the Abbey Road closure.

Lady Bay – Trent Boulevard

Roadworks continue on Trent Boulevard.

The Seymour Road stops remain closed in both directions for Green 11 and 11C.

NCT’s notice remains active without a confirmed completion date.

A further stop closure affects Red 45 towards Nottingham city centre.

The Lady Bay Retail Park stop in the citybound direction has been closed since Friday 6 November because of roadworks.

Passengers should use alternative stops along the routes.

Nottingham – Maid Marian Way congestion continues

Demolition of the former Broad Marsh NCP car park continues to affect traffic through Nottingham city centre.

NCT maintains its warning that the works have caused severe congestion across the city centre and surrounding roads.

The operator says services are experiencing severe delays and short-notice cancellations.

This is a continuing network warning rather than confirmation that every bus is delayed this morning.

City-centre bus stop changes

Temporary stopping arrangements remain in operation.

Turquoise 77/C, 78/A/B and 79/B services use Talbot Street, Shakespeare Street and North Church Street before terminating on Burton Street alongside The Cornerhouse.

Outbound journeys towards Strelley and Bulwell depart from Burton Street stop T7.

Navy 1, 4 and 48/A, together with Pathfinder 90, are not serving Maid Marian Way stop M5 towards Nottingham city centre.

Red 45/B passengers should use stop M2 outside Nottingham Lighting Centre instead of the stop near The Salutation.

The arrangements will remain throughout the demolition works.

Underwood – overnight road closure begins tonight

A new programme of overnight resurfacing begins on Nottingham Road in Underwood this evening.

trentbarton confirms that the road will close overnight from Monday 9 until Saturday 21 November.

Nottingham, Mansfield, Newark and Worksop

No major new unplanned rail incident affecting Nottinghamshire has been independently confirmed in the information retrieved this morning.

However, National Rail’s accessible disruption page did not provide a complete live list of Monday morning incidents or cancellations.

The status of individual departures from Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop, Newark Castle, Newark North Gate and Retford therefore remains unverified.

The Met Office fog warning also raises the possibility of delays to rail services during the morning peak.
