A road closure will be in place for a number of nights
A road closure will be in place for a number of days at a busy junction outside Victoria Retail Park, Netherfield,to make way for a box junction.
Nottinghamshire County Council will be closing the crossroad junction at Colwick Loop Road to turn it into a yellow box junction. The road closure begins on Tuesday, May 2, and will run from 8pm until 4am over the next four nights with motorists blocking both lanes into Victoria Retail Park as they attempt to go to and from Nottingham city.Since 2020 there has been a campaign for changes at this junction and it has been described as a ‘big problem’ due to the backlog it can cause.
Conservative Mike Adams, city councillor for Carlton East, uploaded a video to Facebook in November 2020, saying the "backlog" traffic causes problems for motorists in Colwick, Netherfield, Burton Joyce and other parts of Gedling. He also stated the absence of a box junction creates safety issues - particularly for emergency services trying to get in and out of the area.
Works for the box junction were supposed to be in place between March 6 and March 10, but plans were pushed back due to poor weather conditions. Now, the plans will see the box junction complete by April 5.
