A group of Nottinghamshire neighbours have opened up about life in a community where it feels that 'roadworks will never end'. Residents living near Arnold Lane in Mapperley have described how traffic can be a 'nightmare' at times as a section of the street was closed to allow it to be realigned and linked onto Colliery Way – the new name for Gedling Access Road.
Although the much-anticipated road is now open, work is still ongoing at the site with various roadworks planned in order for the road and surrounding areas to be fully completed and accessible for drivers. The works are part of the final phase of works on the Gedling Access Road.
Closures will be in place each evening between 8pm and 6am and have been split into two phases. The first phase of these works will take place at the Mapperley Plains, Plains Road, Gedling Road and Arnold Lane junction with a number of approaching roads also affected.
