Distance
1
Southbound A1 approaching the Road Improvement Works at Elkesley
Up to 43000 vehicles per day use the A1 through the East Midlands; almost a third of them heavy goods vehicles. Elkesley was unusual in that the road layout did not allow for any access between the local road network and the village other than by using a short length of the requiring right turns to be made across the carriageways to access the village.
The Elkesley Accident Reduction Scheme involves the construction of a new junction at Elkesley, with links providing a new local route to Retford avoiding the A1. Main construction started on 7 May 2014, the bridge opened to traffic one way in August and both ways in September. All the new road links were finally opened to traffic on 5 November 2015.
