Roads disruption warning ahead of Nottingham Open

Drivers are being warned of disruption ahead of the Nottingham Open tennis tournament.

National Highways has advised people to allow extra time for journeys if travelling to the event at the Lexus Nottingham Tennis Centre between 14 and 22 June.

An improvement scheme is currently taking place along the A52 Derby Road between the Priory and Queens Medical Centre roundabouts, with the westbound carriageway closed to all vehicles.

There is a one-way system for eastbound traffic heading towards Nottingham and westbound traffic will follow a signed diversion route via Dunkirk Island, University Boulevard and Woodside Road.

National Highways said tennis visitors are likely to see increased congestion, particularly along the diversion route.
