To ensure our public transport network remains safe, reliable and resilient, essential reconstruction and resurfacing works will be taking place on the inbound A60 Mansfield Road between the Goose Fair Island and Mapperley Road / Forest Road East.

As part of the scheme funded by the East Midlands Combined County Authority, and delivered by Nottingham City Council, overnight road works will take place from Monday 14 September until Friday 25 September. The road will be closed between 8pm and 6am while the works are carried out. There will be no works on the nights of Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September, and the scheme is expected to be completed by 6am on Friday 25 September.

During the closures, a diversion route along Gregory Boulevard, Alfreton Road, through the City Centre via Upper Parliament Street, South Sherwood Street and Mansfield Road will be in place. Outbound traffic will not be affected however there will be lane restrictions in place alongside the works area.

Bus services into the city will be following diversion routes, therefore bus stops FO07, FO08, FO09, FO10, J1 and G3 will not be in operation during the hours stated. Outbound services are not affected.

Access to St Andrew’s Road will need to be via Redcliffe Road and Thorncliffe Road during the closures. The toucan crossing next to The Lodge at Forest Recreation Ground will need to be switched off at all times during the works; an alternative temporary crossing will be provided.

The machinery required to carry out these works will unfortunately generate some noise. We will make every effort to complete each phase of the work as efficiently and quickly as possible each night, minimising disruption wherever possible.
