Road Closure: MOORGREEN — Nottingham

Motorists in Nottingham are being advised of a significant disruption on Moorgreen in Newthorpe, which is set to affect traffic from 2 November 2026 to 23 November 2026. The roadworks, being carried out by Nottinghamshire County Council, will see Moorgreen closed for a period of three weeks, with the council citing major maintenance as the reason for the closure. Drivers are being warned to expect medium-severity delays during this time and are advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid potential congestion.

The closure is part of Nottinghamshire County Council's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the county's road network. While the works are taking place, drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes to avoid the affected area. Those travelling to and from Nottingham city centre may want to consider using the nearby A608 or A6007 to bypass the closure. Additionally, drivers can check traffic apps, such as Google Maps or Waze, to get the latest updates on traffic conditions and plan their route accordingly.

Nottinghamshire County Council has apologised for any inconvenience the closure may cause and is working to complete the necessary works as quickly as possible. The council has assured motorists that the maintenance is essential to ensure the road remains safe and well-maintained for years to come. In the meantime, drivers are urged to be patient and allow extra time for their journeys, especially during peak hours.

For those who regularly use Moorgreen, it may be worth considering alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or car-sharing, to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Nottingham City Transport and Trent Barton operate regular bus services in the area, which may provide a convenient alternative for some commuters. By planning ahead and using alternative routes or modes of transport, drivers can help to minimise disruption and reduce congestion in the area.

The closure of Moorgreen is just one of several roadworks taking place in the Nottingham area, as part of Nottinghamshire County Council's ongoing programme of road maintenance and improvement. While the works may cause some inconvenience in the short term, they are essential to ensuring the long-term safety and sustainability of the county's road network.
