Construction on new Gedling Access Road
PICTURED: Construction began 10 months ago on new Gedling Access Road on Lambley Lane

The ‘Pepperpots’, are named after the structures at the top of the shafts that were built in the 19th century to ventilate the Mapperley Tunnel used by trains underneath the land

A retaining wall has now been built around the structure which will be much needed as the new road will be 14m high.

The Gedling Access Road (GAR) is a new 3.8km single carriageway road which will provide a link between the B684 Mapperley Plains and the A612 Trent Valley Road / Nottingham Road.

The road is expected to open to traffic in the autumn of 2021.
