Clifton Road Delays

Ruddington’s drivers are facing more delays over the next few days as electricity cabling by Western Power Distribution takes place along Clifton Road.

After preparatory work yesterday (Thursday 11th August) temporary traffic lights are now in use. Having been put back a day due to the bad weather, work is now underway and the latest roadworks.org update warns it is due to continue through until Thursday, the 24th of August.

Meantime traffic control is in place from the junction with Old Station Drive to the Pasture Lane roundabout. It’s causing hold-ups for motorists – with peak time delays also expected for Nottingham City Transport‘s Navy 3 service and the LocalLink L22 & LocalLink L23 buses run by Nottingham Community Transport. Disruption for commuters is not likely to be as severe during the current school summer holidays. However pedestrians should also beware that the Pelican Crossing has been taken out of use – making getting across Clifton Road there rather more hazardous!

Ruddington’s motorists have already had to suffer perhaps more than their fair share of traffic delays this year –  from the construction of Tavern Island to the repainting of The Red Lion – whilst the long anticipated Flawforth Lane closure hasn’t even happened yet!

We’ll keep on keeping you posted here on RUDDINGTON.info and via our Twitter feed @RUDDINGTON_info on the latest.

Meantime, just along Camelot Street, Cadent (formerly “National Grid Gas Distribution”) is carrying out gas maintenance work on Woodhouse Gardens to replace old iron gas mains there with more durable plastic pipes. Temporary traffic lights are in place there, too, (see below) and that work is expected to continue until Friday the 18th of August.
