Motorists are being told to ‘expect delays’ now that new traffic measures have been put in place on Mapperley Plains as part of planned Gedling Access Road (GAR) works.
The new measures were introduced today (November 1).
The existing permanent traffic signals at the junction of Mapperley Plains, Plains Road, Arnold Lane and Gedling Road have now been switched off and replaced with temporary four-way traffic lights.
Lane closures are in place at the junction until mid-November to allow road construction works between the new Gedling Access Road and the existing carriageway to take place.
A spokesman said: “”Delays may be likely in this area and so we apologise for any inconvenience.
“We would like to thank all road users and local residents for your patience throughout the construction of the GAR.”
It’s good news for residents of Chartwell Grove in Mapperley as the temporary three-way set of traffic lights, which have been in place for the last two weeks, have now been removed.
Poor effort by the Contractor now for over 2 years in maintaining reasonable for traffic. Now even more delays!
I can’t see any reason why the old ‘bus gate’ traffic signals are still in place on Burton Rd near the junction with the GAR? What purpose do they serve. Why isn’t the road 2 way now at this point?
