Motorists and residents are likely to see teams on site between November 2026 and February 2027 completing vegetation clearance works, footway improvements and third-party utility diversions.

These works will enable main roundabout improvement works to start from March 2027.

Traffic management, including a single lane closure and temporary traffic lights, will be in place overnight once vegetation clearance works begin to allow teams to work safely.

Coun Bert Bingham, Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “These long-awaited improvements to the roundabout will ultimately reduce congestion and improve journey times, while making journeys safer.”

Ollerton roundabout is one of five junctions included in the A614/A6097 major road network scheme and improvements will focus on reshaping the roundabout to give vehicles more room and widening approaches and exits to the roundabout.

Improvements will also include installing new pedestrian crossings on Old Rufford Road and Mansfield Road as well as upgrades to lighting, signage and road markings to improve road safety.
