A stretch of the new £49m Gedling Access Road is to be repaired during a night-time road closure.

The work will take place overnight starting at 7pm on Wednesday, January 11 with the road closure in place until 5am on Thursday, January 12.

The road will be closed near the old Lambley Lane junction – between two new Lambley Lane junctions.

Pothole

The work is taking place after a pothole appeared on the £49m Gedling Access Road just nine months after the flagship road opened to motorists.

A picture taken by the BBC’s Local Democracy Reporting Service last month showed a hole measuring about 10 centimetres wide just after the second roundabout when travelling southeast.

Nottinghamshire County Council said some damage has been caused to the road by “badly-fitted farm machinery”.

Costs to repair the hole will be met through a warranty agreement with contractor Balfour Beatty.

Speaking after the pothole was found, the authority said the road has since been “made safe”.
