Notification of safety improvements and maintenance on the A52

Dear Customer

I’m writing to inform you we’ll be carrying out safety improvements and maintenance work on the A52 Bottesford.

Our work will include –

  • improvements to signage
  • retexturing the concrete carriageway to improve the roads surface
  • road markings and road studs
  • vegetation clearance.

Once completed, road users will benefit from a safer road and smoother journeys.

Safety is and always will be our number one priority; that is why our ambition remains that no one should be harmed while travelling or working on our roads.

When will this work take place? 

Our work is planned to start on 25 February 2025, and we expect to complete by 17 April 2025. To minimise disruption, we’ll work overnight between 8pm and 6amMonday to Friday.

To complete our work safely, we’ll work under full carriageway closures including slip roads and crossover points where applicable. There will be a fully signed diversion in place via the A46 and A1.

Eastbound diversion: A46 Saxondale – A1 Barrowby via Newark

Westbound diversion: A1 Barrowby - A46 Saxondale via Newark

Access to frontages that fall directly within our closures will be maintained by an escort service which will be provided via our on-site traffic management operatives. There may be short delays whilst we ensure that the site is safe for access.

Access for the emergency services will be maintained at all times.

We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.
