A series of overnight road closures will be in place from Monday 6 June so that resurfacing works can take place.
The works are part of the final phase of works on the Gedling Access Road, now known as Colliery Way.
The lengths of roads to be resurfaced are:
- The A6211 Gedling Road – From its junction with the B684 Plains Road to 30m northwest of Whitby Crescent
- Arnold Lane from its junction with the B684 Plains Road to the new traffic island on Colliery Way
- The B684 Mapperley Plains at the junction with the A6211 Gedling Road and Arnold Lane
- The B684 Plains Road from its junction with the A6211 Gedling Road / Arnold Lane to the Westdale Lane West junction.
Closures will be in place each evening between 8pm and 6am and have been split into two phases.
These works will be carried out using temporary road closures on the section of the roads listed above and at the junction with the adjacent side roads; Whitby Crescent, Wembley Road, Norfolk Park, Ruffles Avenue, Swindell Close, Bailey Drive, Appleton Gardens, Central Avenue, Somersby Road, Newbury Close, Hazel Grove, Plains Grove, Clumber Avenue, Steedman Avenue and Beech Avenue. The carriageway will also have a prohibition on stopping order in place to prevent vehicles parking on sections of the highway for the duration of the works. Please note that there will be pedestrian access on existing footways available at all times.
The first phase of these works will take place at the Mapperley Plains, Plains Road, Gedling Road and Arnold Lane junction with a number of approaching roads also affected. These works will take place over 11 nights starting on Monday 6 June at 8pm, and lasting until the morning of Friday 17 June.
The second phase of works are part of the county council’s Highways Capital Programme 2022/23 and will take place on Plains Road each evening from 8pm on Friday 17 June until the morning of Sunday 21 June.
Gary Wood, Head of Highways and Transport at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “We have chosen to undertake these works overnight to minimise the disruption to motorists and residents.
“These resurfacing works are part of the last phase of works following the opening of Colliery Way in March and we would like to thank local residents and motorists for their patience whilst we have been working on this scheme.
“Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the closures however there may be times where vehicle access to properties is not possible and so we are asking any local residents with special circumstances including disabled access, health visits, deliveries and collections should contact Steve Whyld from Via East Midlands by calling 0115 804 2158 or by emailing gar@viaem.co.uk
“Traffic Marshalls will be in the vicinity of the junctions and the works area throughout the working periods to give advice on access / egress for residents. Please take care during these works and observe all signs and instructions from site personnel to ensure everyone stays safe.”
