After having already been closed to through traffic twice this year for roadworks, one of the main access routes in and out of Ruddington will soon be shut again.
Thankfully this time it’s just for a few hours – and also at the weekend – so is less likely to cause disruption for drivers than the previous repair and resurfacing work on Clifton Road between Camelot Street and Old Station Drive which took place in January following a burst water main.
The latest closure is said to be necessary to deal with overhanging trees at Ruddington View Care Home. Between 8.00am and 2.00pm this Sunday 14th March a TOTAL PROHIBITION OF DRIVING will be put in force along Clifton Lane from the Pasture Lane Island to Farnborough Rd Island. This work has just been rescheduled a day later than originally planned due to a poor forecast for Saturday. All being well, damaged and dangerous tree limbs overhanging the highway will be removed safely by arboreal specialists UK Diamond Drilling this Sunday instead.
Residents wishing to access our village centre from the Pasture Lane estates and Old Station Drive by car can actually do so this time. However, for anyone wanting to get to or from Clifton, the extremely lengthy diversionary route shown below via Farnborough Rd, Ruddington Lane, Wilford Rd and Clifton Rd – and vice versa – will again need to be followed during Sunday’s closure.
The original work schedule would have disrupted Nottingham City Transport’s Navy 3 buses. However, the service does not run on Sundays so will no longer be affected.
