Drivers face 14 mile diversion as Mansfield roundabout closes for resurfacing
A stretch of road through King's Clipstone is to be closed for one week - with drivers facing a 14-mile detour.
Improvement works are taking place on the roundabout on the B6035 Forest Road, which meets Gorsethorpe Lane, Forest Road, Peafield Lane and Mansfield Road.
There will be one week of carriageway resufacing and relining works, and the road will be closed to traffic up to Gorsethorpe Lane.
The roadworks should be complete by April 30, according to Nottinghamshire County Council.
