Homes England has reminded motorists that a temporary contraflow system will be introduced in Maid Marian Way this weekend.
Initial enabling works are coming to an end as the authority's contractors move on site to start demolishing the former NCP car park.
The demolition programme is a vital step in clearing the way for the once-in-a-generation transformation of Broad Marsh, which will create new homes, workspaces and public spaces in the heart of the city.
It builds on the progress already made around the site, including the new Nottingham College hub, Central Library, bus station and Green Heart public realm. It comes as Homes England continues its search for a development partner and brings forward meanwhile uses to activate the site.
Works already under way include:
- Lane closures at the Castle Gate junction (lane two northbound and lane three southbound)
- Temporary four-way signals at the southern junction with Canal Street, Wilford Street and Castle Boulevard. Some pavements will be temporarily unavailable, but pedestrians will still be able to navigate the area. Cycle lanes will remain open, although cyclists are asked to dismount for a short distance through the works
From Monday (28 September), a contraflow system will be in place for around eight weeks, which will see traffic diverted from one side of Maid Marian Way to the other while the section of the car park that sits above the road is brought down.
Vehicles will initially move on to the northbound side of the road close to St Nic’s Church where a single lane will operate in each direction. From early to mid-November, this will switch to the southbound side of the road to allow demolition work to complete on the remainder of the NCP car park, and for works to start on the former college site.
A short period of highway reinstatement works will be carried out from the end of November to the start of December, when Maid Marian Way will fully reopen ahead of the Christmas period.
Bus stops in the immediate vicinity may be subject to temporary suspensions during the works, so customers are advised to check with their transport provider.

A seven-week programme of works to improve bus reliability in Meadows Way continues.
The works, at the junction of Meadows Way, Bathley Street and Arkwright Street, will reduce congestion, improve journey times and enhance facilities for pedestrians and cyclists while maintaining the benefits already delivered for local bus services.Â
Nottingham City Council has secured funding from the Department for Transport to support the Greater Nottingham Bus Service Improvement Plan which aims to:
- improve the reliability and punctuality of local bus services
- encourage increased use of buses, which are key to providing access to jobs and opportunities, supporting local businesses and new housing developments
- reduce congestion on the road network.
Meadows Way is a very busy bus route and buses are experiencing delays heading towards the city centre.
To enable the works to be completed as quickly and safely as possible, Bathley Street is now closed at its junction with Arkwright Street for approximately seven weeks. A signed diversion route will be in place throughout the closure period.

National Highways is continuing to prepare for its A52 Nottingham junctions scheme, which will deliver major improvements at Wheatcroft and Nottingham Knight.
To enable the main construction works, utility companies started diverting services at Wheatcroft junction earlier this month. These works are expected to continue for around 12 weeks with lane closures in place from Monday to Friday.
Here's what's happening:
- Monday 21 September (8am) to Friday 25 September (6pm): A section of Flawforth Lane where it joins the A52 at Wheatcroft Junction will be fully closed.
- Friday 25 September to Monday 28 September, 8pm to 6am each night: Part of the A52 (Gamston Link Road) at Wheatcroft Junction will be closed overnight. The road will reopen during the day between closures.
Signed diversion routes will be in place.
Traffic management, including lane closures and a temporary 40mph speed limit, will also be in place on sections of the A52 while work is carried out.
