Overnight road closures announced for busy route

The Apleyhead entrance to the Clumber Park estate will be inaccessible overnight

Drivers are being warned of overnight road closures on a busy route in Nottinghamshire while maintenance work takes place.

Work has started to resurface parts of the A614 Blyth Road, near Worksop, close to where it joins the A1.

The route will be closed between the Netherfield Lane roundabout near Thoresby Hall and the A57 Apleyhead roundabout, the county council said.

The road, which includes the main entrance to the National Trust's Clumber Park estate, will be shut from 19:00 until 05:00 BST on weeknights until 1 October.

A spokesperson for the National Trust said: "If you are leaving Clumber Park after 19:00, please use the Trumans exit, which will remain open until 20:00 while the roadworks take place, or the exit at Carburton.

"The Apleyhead exit will not be accessible."

Motorists have also been warned that ongoing survey work will result in some overnight closures to the adjoining stretch of the A1 until 9 August.

Additionally, surface dressing work will mean overnight closures over the same period on the A614 at the A6097 junction for the Epperstone Bypass.
