A614/A6075 Major Road Network Scheme

Overview

The Secretary of Transport announced last October that £18m of funding would be allocated to the Council following its bid to improve six junctions along the A614 and A6097 between Ollerton and Lowdham. 

The scheme aims to support planned housing developments along the route in Bilsthorpe, Ollerton and Blidworth, reduce peak period traffic congestion for the benefit of commuters and local businesses, and improve road safety for all users.

The County Council submitted its outline business case to the Department for Transport for approval in May 2019 with the intention to start works on site in April 2021 subject to the approval of the business case and subsequent planning approvals. 

The consultation has now closed. Via East Midlands, in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council, will be taking some time to review the numerous responses received. Please be assured that all feedback and comments received, relating to the package of works and the wider issues in the area will be considered.
