Nottingham City Centre: Overnight Road Closures Ahead for T-Junction Transformation - Plan Ahead!
Nottingham city centre is undergoing a significant transformation with the ongoing project to replace a roundabout with a modern T-junction. The ambitious regeneration of Maid Marian Way is progressing well and remains on track for completion by mid-August, a positive sign for commuters and residents alike.
However, to ensure the final stages of this crucial work are carried out safely and effectively, Nottingham City Council has announced a series of overnight road closures starting from July 21st. These closures are essential for the final touches and adjustments needed to fully integrate the new T-junction into the existing road network.
What to Expect:
- Duration: The overnight closures are scheduled to last for approximately four weeks.
- Location: The closures will primarily affect Maid Marian Way, a key route through the city centre.
- Timing: Roads will be closed each night, likely between the hours of 7:00 PM and 6:00 AM. (Specific timings will be confirmed and publicized by Nottingham City Council – see below for details on where to find this information).
Why the Closures are Necessary: The final phase of the project involves intricate work such as resurfacing, line marking, and the installation of traffic signals. These tasks require full road closures to guarantee the safety of both workers and the public. Attempting to complete this work with traffic flowing would pose a significant risk.
Impact on Commuters & Residents: Drivers are strongly advised to plan their journeys in advance and to consider alternative routes. Diversions will be in place, but delays are anticipated, particularly during peak hours. Residents in the immediate vicinity of Maid Marian Way may also experience some disruption, although the council is working to minimize this as much as possible.
Stay Informed: Nottingham City Council is committed to keeping the public informed throughout the duration of the project. You can find the latest updates and specific closure timings on the following resources:

The transformation of Maid Marian Way and the creation of the new T-junction represents a significant investment in Nottingham's infrastructure, aiming to improve traffic flow, enhance pedestrian safety, and contribute to the overall regeneration of the city centre. While the overnight closures may cause temporary inconvenience, they are a necessary step towards achieving these long-term benefits. Plan ahead, stay informed, and let's work together to ensure a smooth transition for everyone.
