New completion date announced for major A52 works near Radcliffe-on-Trent

Nottinghamshire County Council has announced the new completion date for A52 junction improvements works in a Nottinghamshire village. The work has been taking place in Radcliffe-on-Trent, at its Bingham Road junction, for more than a year.

Previously, on May 13, National Highways announced work would be completed by the end of June 2022. But the county council has now outlined the current closures and parking restrictions will be lifted on Sunday, July 3.

The partial closures of Bingham Road and Carter Avenue in Radcliffe on Trent will continue, as well as the parking ban that is in place in Cropwell Road. The waiting restrictions in Cropwell Road have been in place to allow the diversion of buses while Bingham Road is partially closed.

As part of the plans, National Highways is widening the approaches to the junction and installing traffic lights. Before work could start at the junction, however, essential gas works first had to be completed - which started in summer 2021.

They say this pushed back the original completion date as work was suspended while inspections took place. The time to finish the works will now be more than a year, with work starting there on Monday, June 21 2021.

Other work has been taking place along the busy route including at Gamston, Silverdale and Stragglethorpe as part of a project aiming to improve the A52 for drivers going forward. It is being delivered in three stages with the second stage currently being carried out.
