A52 Eastbound Closures: LED Upgrades in Progress

0:00On April 8th, heads up, drivers on the A52 overnight closures hit the eastbound side this week for upgrading those old roadside lights to slick, energy-saving LEDs. The stretch from Gamston to the RSPCA junction at Radcliffe on Trent shuts down every night from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., starting tonight and running, straight through Friday. These works tie into bigger plans to modernize roads and cut down on power bills, making the lights more reliable for the long haul. No major backlash yet, but folks are urged to map out routes early and pad travel times since traffic will reroute around the closures. Buses keep rolling through and anyone needing RSPCA access outside hours gets a pass too, so essential trips stay smooth. It's smart out there to dodge the hassle and will keep you posted as these upgrades light up the future.
