A huge improvement project for six important Nottinghamshire junctions has been greenlit. The £28.6million plans to upgrade six junctions along the A614/A6097 corridor have now been granted planning permission.
The redesigned junctions are hoped to be completed by summer 2025, with work to start in summer 2023. Ollerton roundabout, Mickledale Lane, White Post roundabout, Warren Hill, Lowdham roundabout and A6097 Bridgford Street / Kirk Hill junction are set to receive the big upgrades.
The plans have been designed to remove peak-period traffic congestion and support housing developments in the county. It is hoped the changes will open up land to the north of Bingham where 1,000 new homes are being built, land in Ollerton which is planned for hundreds of homes, and the development of the former Thoresby Colliery site, which is earmarked for 850 new houses.
