Major road closure in place on busy Derbyshire road – as ‘critical’ emergency works underway near roundabout
The works are being carried out by National Grid and are ‘critical to maintain security of supply for local homes and businesses’.
A northbound lane closure is currently in place at the A514 Hartshorne Road in Woodville.
This is to allow for essential emergency works to repair a high-voltage cable fault and installation of a replacement pedestrian guard rail.
The works are ‘critical to maintain security of supply for local homes and businesses’, National Grid said.
The closure is affecting the A514 directly north of Clock Island roundabout and is set to remain in place until Friday (December 19).
Traffic is diverted via the B5006 towards Ticknall and drivers are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys.
National Grid Electricity Distribution’s Derby Team manager Will Wright said: “We understand this closure will cause disruption, especially at such a busy location, but these urgent works are vital to keep power flowing to hundreds of homes and businesses.
"Our teams will work as quickly and safely as possible to minimise the impact on local traffic. We thank all road users for their patience and cooperation during this essential work.”
