Work has resumed on the £40million project to build a new 3.8km single carriageway road that will provide a link between the B684 Mapperley Plains and the A612 Trent Valley Road/Nottingham Road.
Construction started at the start of the year, but the next stage at Burton Road to develop a key junction was halted due to coronavirus.
The creation of the junction was meant to start with the closing of Burton Road on March 23 until the end of the year, but due to lockdown it has remained open.
Work on the route, which has been under consideration for the good part of 50 years, had been delayed for more than seven weeks.
Nottingham Post photographer Marie Wilson captured these images of workers back on the site, after the Government encouraged construction workers to return to work in a bid to get the economy back up and running again.
Now that work has re-commenced, Burton Road will be closed to allow for the construction of the new junction.
This closure will be in place until December 20, only a week behind the previous schedule, despite the delay in starting.
All traffic except for buses will be diverted around the A612 and then the Colwick Loop Road back to Shearing Hill.
Traffic which uses the bus gate in Stoke Lane will be subject to fixed penalty notices - pedestrians will still have access.
There will be camera enforcement along Stoke Lane which will be reviewed once the Gedling Access Road is open in Summer 2021.
A video was released by Nottinghamshire County Council last year which depicts what the final road layout will look like.
