From next week there'll be roadworks at the A46 Riseholme Roundabout. They'll include surfacing and road- lining and start on Monday.

They're expected to last for three evenings and there'll be road closures from 10pm until 6am between Carholme and Nettleham roundabouts - and there'll be a diversion on place as well as temporary traffic signals on the A15 and Riseholme Road.

The diversion route for the overnight closures will be via Saxilby Road / The Avenue / B1273 / Yarborough Crescent / Riseholme Road-Longdales Road / Nettleham Road, and vice versa.

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: "Our improvements to Riseholme Roundabout have made a real difference to people's journey times thanks to extra capacity at all of the roundabout's entrances and exits.

"However, since opening last autumn, we've noticed a few small sections of road that haven't lived up to the standards we expect.

"Quality issues like these aren't uncommon, as it sometimes takes several months for a defect to form, so, as part of our contract with them, Breheny will be carrying out some minor repairs to ensure a long, serviceable life for the roundabout.

"We'll be doing everything we can to keep disruption to a minimum, including carrying the works out overnight when there are far fewer vehicles on the road and maintaining access for residents when it's safe to do so."
