Lorry Overturns Closing A46 Nottinghamshire Northbound Causing Long Delays

A northbound section of the A46 in Nottinghamshire is closed between the A617 near Newark and the A1 at Winthorpe due to an overturned lorry on the Brownhills Roundabout, causing significant traffic delays. Emergency services, including Nottinghamshire Police and National Highways contractors, are on site managing the situation and coordinating a complex recovery and clear-up operation. Drivers are advised to allow extra journey time, plan ahead, and use designated diversion routes that reroute traffic via the A616, B6325, and A1 to bypass the closure. The incident, reported late Tuesday night, has resulted in long queues and non-moving traffic extending near Newark-on-Trent, with normal conditions expected to resume in the early afternoon. Authorities continue to provide updates and urge motorists to avoid the area if possible. The recovery is ongoing, and the closure is expected to remain until the operation is complete.
