Main route is due to close for resurfacing
A BUSY Derby road is being closed this week for four days of roadworks.
Radbourne Lane, in Mackworth, will be shut for resurfacing work from today until Thursday, if it is not delayed owing to the heatwave.
The route will be closed from its junction with the A52 Ashbourne Road to Aldersgate between 8am and 4pm each day. Aldersgate itself will also be resurfaced by Derby City Council’s in-house Streetpride team as part of the project.
A diversion route will be in place for affected motorists via Ashbourne Road, Brun Lane, the B5020, and Radbourne Lane and the same in the opposite direction. Some drivers will also be diverted via Ashbourne Road, then by circumnavigating Markeaton Island back onto Ashbourne Road, then Brun Lane, and the B5020, before reaching Radbourne Lane.
Some other city routes are also due to undergo roadworks this week, according to the Derby City
Council website and roadworks collaboration site one.network. Please note, all the roadwork notices were correct as of the time of publication, but it is possible some will be delayed owing to the heatwave.
