Taxi drivers in Nottingham said traffic congestion is the 'worst it has ever been' with disruption on key routes in the city centre due to works. Heavy traffic was reported across the city with Nottingham becoming 'gridlocked' due to a number of roadworks on Wednesday, January 18.
Drivers said the disruption has been partly caused by the works to cycle routes at the Station Street junction, which started on the weekend of January 7 and 8. These will continue for 21 weeks, ending in Summer 2023.
Severe delays are also being caused by the 12-week partial closure of Derby Road between the Queen's Medical Centre roundabout and Priory roundabout. This partial road closure was put in place on January 9 to facilitate three months of gas works.
