Road schemes
We are committed to improving major roads in Nottinghamshire to ensure the county is a great place to live, visit, invest and do business
We have over 4,000km of road network in the county with north-south routes being particularly strong with the upgraded M1 and A1
We are leading on three major road schemes across the county, which will greatly improve transport links across the county, with others in the pipeline.
Gedling Access Road
The £40 million Gedling Access Road will link Mapperley Plains and the A612 Burton Road and will help ease traffic in and out of Nottingham and around Gedling Village, helping to create journey time savings and other benefits worth at least £73m.
The new road could unlock potential new developments in Gedling, creating new jobs and more affordable housing directly south of the old Gedling Colliery
It is being funded through a mixture of public and private sector funding which includes development partner Keepmoat (£17m), the D2N2 (£10.8m), Nottinghamshire County Council (£5.4m), Homes England (£7m) and Gedling Borough Council
Work on the scheme is expected to start in 2019 and be completed in 2020.
A614/A6097
£18m worth of Government funding is set to improve the A614 at six junctions between Ollerton to Lowdham, which will unlock the untapped economic potential of North Nottinghamshire in the form of new jobs, housing and infrastructure to local communities and businesses.
The A614 corridor is the spine of the county with new housing developments planned in Bilsthorpe, Ollerton, Blidworth, Calverton, Bingham and Gedling, so this investment is crucial to help meet these increasing demands, which includes 800 new homes and 25-acre business park planned for the former Thoresby colliery site adjacent to the Ollerton roundabout.
The scheme is estimated to create £27.5m in savings for the local economy through reduced delays, with a saving of £450,000 per annum just for Ollerton Roundabout.
It will provide additional traffic lanes and in some cases different forms of junction with increased traffic carrying capacity, which will be designed so that the junctions operate within capacity and peak period queues and delays are removed.
We will be consulting the public and other stakeholders on proposed designs in summer 2019.
