LETS CELEBRATE THE A453 WIDENING APPROVAL
Hooray – what a bit of good news in all the doom and gloom. The A453 could soon be widened. Personally, I won’t believe it until the diggers arrive but it is a step in the right direction. I would like to thank your paper for constantly featuring this project. I know you have always [...]
A453 RESURFACING WORKS BEGIN
Road users will benefit from safer and smoother driving conditions as a result of forthcoming resurfacing and renewal works on the A453 between junction 24 of the M1 and the Crusader Island in Clifton. The works will involve the resurfacing of the A453 and the renewal of road markings and studs. Work will start this [...]
COUNCIL URGES BUSINESSES TO BACK A453 PROJECT
Local businesses are being urged to back a bid by Nottinghamshire County Council which it hopes will help bring forward the widening of the A453. The County Council has already written to transport secretary, Philip Hammond, pledging £20 million towards the cost of widening the route. Councillor Kay Cutts, leader of the County Council, has [...]
COUNCIL CASH COULD KICK-START A453 PROJECT
The long-running saga of the potential dualling of the A453 could be set to be coming to an end after Nottinghamshire County Council took the unusual step of offering a £20 million contribution to the Government to bring forward the scheme to widen the road. After coming into power, the Collation put plans on hold [...]
ESSENTIAL RESURFACING ON FOR A453
Resurfacing work took place last month on the A453 between junction 24 of the M1 and the Crusader Island in Clifton. During the work, the 6.1 mile section of the A453 was closed in both directions. Work on the £440,000 scheme was carried out by Colas, USL, Prismo and Aone+ on behalf of the Highways [...]
NO SURPRISE ON A453 SETBACK
The A453 widening was almost ready to go when Labour came into office in 1997. One of the first things they did was to cancel the programme. Thirteen years later the Tories get into power and the same thing happens once again. Yet it looks as if the stupid ‘white elephant’ tram extension is going [...]
A453 WIDENING PLANS ON HOLD
Plans to widen the link between the south of Nottingham with junction 24 of the M1 have been put on hold, as part of government plans to save £6.2 billion. Work on the £194m project to widen the A453 was due to start in the autumn, but new chancellor George Osborne has said plans will [...]
GOVERNMENT COULD HALT PLANS
With the formation of a new government, it perhaps may bring to an end crazy plans for Clifton. The (not needed) tram may be derailed, if you pardon the pun. This new government has already said it has to save billions of pounds and I am sure this would be top of their list. A [...]

WIDENING WILL NOT HELP A453
I agree that there is a problem with the A453, but what do you think that widening it will help? The problem isn’t that the road is not dual carriageway, it’s that the traffic can’t leave the road at it’s ends. All that will happen after widening is that you reach the end of the [...]
