More than 20 major road improvement schemes planned across Nottinghamshire this September

Residents, road users and businesses across Nottinghamshire will continue to see significant investment in the county's roads this September, with more than 20 major resurfacing and machine-lay patching schemes planned as part of Nottinghamshire County Council's record £181.25 million Highway Capital Maintenance Programme. 

Working alongside our highways partner Via East Midlands, we have published the month-ahead programme of planned roadworks for September, highlighting major improvement works on key routes across the county, alongside the continued delivery of countywide surface dressing and micro asphalt programmes. 

Across Nottinghamshire, the September programme includes twenty-four major resurfacing and machine-lay patching schemes, covering strategically important routes and local roads that form part of the council's long-term approach to maintaining and improving the highway network. 

Among the headline schemes are resurfacing works on both the northbound and southbound stretches of the A57 Worksop Bypass, the A60 Doncaster Road corridor in Langold and Carlton in Lindrick, the A60 Mansfield Road through Ravenshead and Arnold, the A60 Loughborough Road and Mere Way Roundabout in Ruddington, and further major works at the A6009 Rosemary Street and A38 Stockwell Gate junction in Mansfield. A significant machine-lay patching scheme is also planned on the A610 Kimberley and Eastwood Bypass, while works will take place on the A1133 Besthorpe Road in Collingham. 

The September programme will be delivered alongside the countywide surface dressing and micro asphalt programmes, which continue across more than 200 sites throughout Nottinghamshire. These preventive maintenance treatments help extend the life of the highway by retexturing road surfaces, preventing water ingress, and reducing the formation of potholes and cracks. As both programmes remain weather-dependent, residents are encouraged to check the latest information online before travelling. 

In addition to the major schemes, highways teams and the council's JCB Pothole Pro machines will continue to carry out patching and localised repairs on roads across the county, helping to address defects and improve road conditions for local communities. Planned patching works are scheduled in locations including Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Mansfield, Hucknall, Watnall, Stapleford, Gedling, Carlton, Widmerpool, Gotham, Gonalston and a number of villages across Newark and Sherwood. 

Councillor Bert Bingham, Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “Our summer surface dressing programme continues to make good progress, with micro-surfacing works also set to continue. More than 150 roads across the county will be treated between now and autumn. As schedules can change due to weather conditions, residents are encouraged to check the Notts Highways website for the latest information. 

“This year's record highways investment has enabled us to tackle more roads than ever before. By the end of July we had delivered nearly 100 road surface improvement schemes and we will complete hundreds more by the end of the year. 

“I'd like to thank residents in advance for their patience and understanding while these works are carried out."

All improvements form part of the record investment in the 2026/27 Highway Capital Maintenance Programme, which is delivering essential maintenance, resurfacing and infrastructure improvements across Nottinghamshire to help keep roads safe, reduce congestion and support long-term transport efficiency. 

Via East Midlands will continue to run its year-round programme of preventative maintenance, including cleansing highway gullies and drains, tree inspections and surface repairs. 

Residents can find the latest information on roadworks, surface dressing and micro asphalt programmes on the Notts Highways website, with updates provided regularly to reflect any changes due to weather or operational requirements.
