Road closures: Plenty for Mansfield and Ashfield drivers to watch out for

The latest expected works list shows five closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

M1 northbound and southbound, Junction 28, at South Normanton, to Junction 29, at Doe Lea: Slip road closure with diversion routes and lane closures due to electrical work. Until June 1, at 6am;
