Preliminary work begins on Nottinghamshire roundabout scheme

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 10:48 · Archive

Preparation work will begin in November at Ollerton roundabout in Nottinghamshire ahead of main improvements from March.

Work to improve Ollerton roundabout will begin in November as the first phase of a £46.9 million improvement scheme affecting five junctions on the A614 and A6097 in Nottinghamshire.

Preliminary works running from November to February will include vegetation clearance, footway improvements and utility diversions. Traffic management measures, including a single-lane closure and temporary traffic lights, will be in place overnight to allow teams to work safely. The main roundabout improvement scheme is scheduled to start in March.

The improvements will reshape the roundabout to give vehicles more room and widen approaches and exits. New pedestrian crossings will be installed on Old Rufford Road and Mansfield Road, with upgrades to lighting, signage and road markings.

Bert Bingham, cabinet member for transport and environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said the pre-construction works were overdue and would 'reduce congestion and improve journey times, while making journeys safer'. The scheme is funded through contributions from the Department for Transport, Nottinghamshire County Council, developer contributions and the East Midlands Combined County Authority.
