Scheme Outline
Upgrade of the existing single two-lane route, which forms the main gateway into Nottingham from the South and the West Midlands. The route will be mostly dual two-lane with grade separated junctions, but reduces briefly to single four-lane approaching Clifton where land space is restricted. This last section will have at-grade roundabout junctions. Grade separated junctions will serve Ratcliffe Power Station, Barton-in-Fabis, and a potential Park and Ride site. The dualled section will terminate at Crusader Roundabout. Construction may now include construction or provision for a tram or rail line to East Midlands Airport.
