National Highways begin carrying out work to repair a damaged bridge on the A52 at the QMC roundabout in Nottingham on Monday 8 July.
As well as replacing a beam, which was damaged when a lorry carrying an excavator hit it, teams will divert utilities and re-waterproof the bridge.
When will this work take place?
Work in the area will begin on Monday 8 July.
The first three weeks will involve utility diversions of a gas main and electric cables by teams at Cadent and Western Power Distribution, five nights a week. Please note that Cadent gas will be carrying out their work during the day only.
Following the completion of these diversions, we’ll then begin our repair work on the bridge from Monday 29 July. We expect to complete this work by summer 2025.
Work is in phases, working overnight between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday.
What does this mean for you?
In order to carry out this work safely, a number of lane closures will be in place in and around the roundabout. Lane one of the roundabout will be closed 24/7 for the safety of the public, while other lanes will close when works are taking place.
The A52 on the approach to the roundabout from the Priory Island will also have lane closures in place. The A6514 Middleton Boulevard which runs underneath the bridge will also be closed at night with an ‘up and over’ diversion in place using the exit and entry slip roads.
Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout. We’ll also work with key stakeholders in the city to ensure our work avoids major events such as sporting fixtures, concerts and university open days.
We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.
