UK Road Closed: National Highways

A section of the National Highways network is set to be closed near Nottingham for essential maintenance. The closure will affect National Highways Closure — 504893, and is scheduled to start on 13 August 2026 at 19:00, with the work expected to be completed by 14 August 2026 at 05:00.

Motorists travelling on this stretch of the strategic road network are advised to plan alternative routes to avoid potential delays. The highway authority, National Highways, has issued the closure in accordance with its Transport Data Feeds. This high-severity closure will cause significant disruption to drivers, especially during the night, and could be particularly challenging for those who rely on this route for their daily commute.

The exact reason for the closure has been attributed to the ongoing maintenance of the National Highways Strategic Road Network. This work aims to ensure the network remains safe and efficient for all users. While the closure is in place, drivers are urged to check traffic apps and maps for the latest information and to consider using alternative routes.

For those who must travel during the closure, National Highways recommends checking the latest traffic reports and considering the use of satnavs, which can often suggest alternative routes to avoid congestion. Additionally, drivers are advised to leave extra time to reach their destinations, as traffic may be heavier than usual.

The closure is subject to change, and any updates will be announced by National Highways. Motorists are advised to check for the latest information before embarking on their journeys, as this can often help to minimise potential disruptions. National Highways works closely with its partners and stakeholders to ensure that road users are informed of any planned maintenance or closures.

It is essential for drivers to stay informed and be prepared for potential disruptions.
