Ongoing closure of the A52 between QMC roundabout and Priory roundabout - westbound only


Due to Cadent Gas upgrade works along Derby Road the westbound lane (leaving the city) on the A52 at QMC roundabout is closed until mid-March. The eastbound lane (heading towards the city) will remain open throughout.

National Highways have specified a route diversion via the A6005 and Woodside Road to Priory roundabout. The diversion route will be signposted. Parking on Woodside Road suspended.

These works are causing some delays to buses, including the Medilink.

🚧Cadent Gas works programme: Monday 9 January to Summer 2023 🚧

Cadent Gas are replacing old gas mains with new versions across Sherwood, Bulwell, Bulwell Forest, Mapperley and Bestwood. Works will involve Temporary Traffic Signals, Lane Closures & Road Closures. Access will always be maintained.

Linking up City Centre Cycling Routes🚲

🚴‍♀️ Works have kicked off at the Station Street/London Road junction on the latest phase of our City Centre Cycle routes, linking the east and west of the city with safe segregated cycling infrastructure.

Various, mainly off-peak lane closures will be required throughout the project as we complete the project to join the segregated cycleways nearby and install marked on road cycle lanes through the junction, improve pedestrian crossing facilities and more.
