GAR construction

Section of Mapperley Plains to be closed for seven nights

Works on the Gedling Access Road have continued to accelerate into 2022, and we would like to update you on the next phase of traffic management that is required. 

From 8pm on Tuesday 25 January, a night-time closure will be in place on Mapperley Plains between the traffic-signalled junction with Plains Road/Arnold Lane/Gedling Road and the junction with Chartwell Grove.

This closure will last for seven nights and will be in place each night from 8pm until 5am the next morning. Please note that the road will be open during the daytime, and that access for pedestrians will be maintained throughout the closure. 

This closure will be in place so that our construction teams can safely complete the removal of the existing road surface and the laying of a new surfacing layer to tie the existing and the newly widened areas of the carriageway to the new GAR junction.

Please note that during the closure, access will be maintained for residents of Chartwell Grove, Clementine Drive, Winston Close and Spencer Avenue, with a traffic marshal in place to escort vehicles through the closure point.

We would like to thank you for your ongoing support and patience whilst we carry out works to construct the new road.
