The latest flyover showing progress of the Gedling Access Road (GAR) has been shared by Nottinghamshire County Council.
Work on the road, which has cost around £48m, should be completed in the spring.
It was due to open in 2021 but was delayed because of the pandemic.
Nottinghamshire County Council posted an update on the latest progress…
“You may notice new signage and road markings being changed on the wider road network over the next few weeks in advance of the GAR opening.
“Changes to road marking destinations are being done this week on the A612 around the Victoria Retail Park, and to minimise disruption in the area, there will be lane closures in place over night for the next four nights.
“On Monday, March 7, three-way traffic lights will be in place at the mini-roundabout on Arnold Lane/Shearing Hill. These lights will be in place to allow construction teams to install new signage on Main Road. These temporary signals will be removed as soon as works are complete
“Other signage is being installed around the village with most of these works taking place within the footway, meaning that there should be no impact on traffic. These signs are the new Environmental Weight Limit signs which will be bagged over until the GAR is open to traffic.”
Weight limits removed? It’s because of the hgv traffic using Burton road. Construction work on Carlton le Willows school AND the new new pond housing estate has turned the road into a mud track. Council doesn’t care. VIA doesn’t give a flying monkey…. Just a trip to the coop and the car looks like it’s been in a rally…
Now’s the time to remove the bus plug at the bottom of the GAR. They have additional traffic lights that simply cause congestion and the plug is just not needed.
