ON AIR NOW:

Nearly three weeks of overnight closures on M180 to begin

Part of the M180 will be closed every night for almost three weeks while concrete and bridge joint repairs are carried out.

The westbound carriageway will be shut between junctions 3 (Midmoor) and 1 (Tudworth) between 8pm and 6am seven days a week from Tuesday, January 21 until 6am on Saturday, February 8 while the work takes place near junction 2. There will also be single lane closures during the daytime to allow the concrete to cure.

A National Highways spokesperson said: “The programme of work will include concrete bay replacement, crack repairs and thin bond repairs on the existing concrete carriageway on the westbound carriageway.

“In addition, we’ll carry out a bridge joint repair on the westbound carriageway on the bridge over the River Trent as well as resurface the route in this area.

“The scheme will extend the life of the concrete surface and keep the carriageway safe and serviceable for the travelling public. It will also ensure the continued safety of road users on the bridge over the River Trent.”

Diversions will be in place directing traffic onto the M181 northbound and A18 westbound. When the M180 junction 2 westbound entry slip is closed, traffic will be diverted to use the A161 and A18 westbound.
