A1 closed after collision

The A1 is currently closed in both directions from its junctions of the B1174 to the B6326 near Newark-on-Trent with delays of at least 30 minutes covering several miles of the road.

The closure is due to a road traffic collision and Highways England says it has resources deployed working hard to restore normal conditions as soon as possible.

For traffic approaching the closure locally, you are advised to expect disruption with extra journey time and may potentially have to re-route your journey.

If travelling towards this area from much farther afield, you may wish to change your strategic route, allow extra travel time and follow guidance from on-road variable message signs and media.

A local diversion route has been implemented.
