The work was being carried out after a beam was struck by a lorry carrying an excavator 7 years ago
National Highways says it is "beaming" after completing the next phase of repairs on a busy A52 roundabout leading to the Queen's Medical Centre. The key roundabout was scheduled to be closed from Friday, February 7, to 6am on Monday, February 10, as part of the latest phase of works to allow engineers to install a replacement beam in its damaged bridge.
The damage occurred in 2018 after a beam was struck by a lorry carrying an excavator. In a post to X on Saturday, February 8, bus operator Nottingham City Transport warned passengers that significant delays were building as a result of the closure. In a post on Sunday, National Highways said it had finished the work 12 hours ahead of schedule. "We're beaming! We've successfully installed the new beam in the QMC roundabout bridge and have been able to reopen the A6514 Middleton Boulevard in #Nottingham over 12 hours earlier than planned," it wrote on X.
"Thank you for your patience during this weekend's closures." National Highways last closed the Queen’s Medical Centre roundabout for bridge repairs on the weekend of January 25 and 26.
