A major road has been closed as work starts on a "complex" vehicle recovery following a fire. National Highways has announced the A1 in Nottinghamshire is closed northbound between the A620 (Ranby) and A1M (Blyth) due to a vehicle requiring recovery after a fire on the evening of Tuesday, June 14.
The authority said work was under way at around 9am on Wednesday, June 15, and the closure would likely remain for several hours. The vehicle will have be lifted during the recovery, which National Highways called a "complex vehicle recovery".
Recovery services are on scene along with National Highways service providers. Motorists have been told to expect delays as a result of the closure.
