Emergency roadworks taking place on a busy stretch of the A52 were described as an 'inconvenience' by drivers caught up in the congestion. Drivers said they were late to pick up loved ones from the Queen's Medical Centre while the work took place.
The work, taking place over recent days between the Queen's Medical Centre and Priory Island in Wollaton, caused long delays for drivers and buses in the area. Temporary traffic lights were in operation.
In the evenings, traffic had been queueing in both directions along the A52 Derby Road at the University of Nottingham North Entrance, near the QMC. Wollaton resident Lee Manson, 35, who was stuck in traffic on Thursday (October 27), said he was late to pick up his wife from a hospital appointment.
