First look at Lambley Lane as it reopens after being shut for more than a year

Nottinghamshire County Council has given motorists a first-look at Lambley Lane as it reopens to traffic for the first time in more than a year.

The busy route was shut back in June 2020 as work progressed on the eagerly anticipated Gedling Access Road [GAR].

It reopened to the public on Tuesday, September 28 this year.

People in the village of Lambley have previously expressed fears that the reopening could make traffic worse.

Lambley Lane was previously scheduled to reopen on Monday, September 13 - but this was delayed by Nottinghamshire County Council.

Now, the new-look Lambley Lane can be used by motorists once again, however work is still ongoing to fully complete the GAR.

Nottinghamshire County Council said in an update on September 28: "All traffic using Lambley Lane will now travel along a short section of the GAR, which links both ends together.

"If you're travelling from Spring Lane, you will need to turn right at the junction with the GAR before turning left onto the new link road a short while later. You will then come to a new mini roundabout back on Lambley Lane.

"If you're travelling from the direction of Arnold Lane, you will need to turn left at the mini roundabout and head towards the junction with the GAR. Here, you will turn right onto the GAR and then turn left at the new spur road which will take you up towards Spring Lane."
