Laxton Main St Closed Due Roadworks

Main Street in Laxton, Nottinghamshire, will be closed to traffic from Monday 13 August 2026, until Friday 17 August 2026, due to urgent roadworks. The work, carried out by Nottinghamshire County Council, is expected to cause moderate disruption to motorists, with drivers advised to plan alternative routes in advance.

The closure will affect Main Street, which is situated in the village of Laxton, approximately 20 miles north-east of Nottingham city centre. Motorists are being urged to check their journey before setting out, and to plan their route in advance using traffic apps and online mapping tools. Alternative routes, such as the nearby B6041 and A617, are expected to be busier than usual, and drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journey.

The roadworks are part of a programme of maintenance and improvement work being carried out by Nottinghamshire County Council, which aims to maintain the county's highway network in good condition. The council has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the closure, and has assured drivers that the work is necessary to ensure the long-term safety and reliability of the road.

For drivers who need to use the A617, which passes near the closed section of Main Street, a temporary diversion will be in place. The diversion will be clearly signposted, and drivers are advised to follow the signs carefully to avoid any confusion. Motorists are also advised to check for regular updates on traffic conditions, and to plan their route in advance using online tools such as Google Maps or Waze.

While the road closure is expected to cause some disruption to motorists, Nottinghamshire County Council has assured drivers that the work is being carried out as quickly as possible. The council has also urged drivers to be patient and to plan their journey in advance, to avoid any unnecessary delays.
