A1 near Newark Services - drainage survey work

I’m writing to inform you of some upcoming drainage survey work on the A1 near Newark services. These surveys will inform our planning of future improvements in this area to provide a safer carriageway for road users.

When will this work take place?

We’ll be carrying out work overnight, between 8pm and 6am from Monday 3 August to Thursday 20 August 2026.

To maintain a safe environment for our workforce and customers, work will take place within lane closures in each direction and will begin on the northbound carriageway.

We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.

Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
