Part of the flagship Gedling Access Road will shut for one night this week while Nottinghamshire County Council fixes a pothole. The damage was discovered last month on December 22 – nine months to the day since the road's March 22 opening.
The hole was found just after the second roundabout when travelling southeast. This section of the road will be closed overnight from 7pm on January 11 until 5am the following day, with the closure stretching to the junction with Lambley Lane.
The £49million road, officially named Colliery Way, was constructed after decades of campaigning to ease traffic and congestion through Gedling village. It was initially due to open in autumn 2021 and was budgeted at £40m but price increases fuelled by the pandemic pushed the project back and costs up.
