For the Highway Authority based around the city, see Nottingham Council.
Nottingham is a city in the East Midlands, and one of the largest conurbations in that area. Consequently its road network has been upgraded over the years.
History
The Nottingham Outer Ring Road was opened in sections between 1922 and 1981. For opening dates and history see Nottingham Outer Ring Road.
Nottingham was connected to the emerging motorway network when the M1 opened to the west of the city in 1966 / 67. The major access points are, from south to north, the A453, A52 and A610.
The A46 Fosse Way runs near Nottingham, but skirts the city to the south and east. Access is via the A606 and A52.
The urban motorway scheme
During the 1960s an urban motorway system was planned for the city along with an upgrade of the major roads. The first section to be built would have been Sheriffs Way where detailed plans were drawn up before the scheme was scrapped. The only part of these plans to be built was Maid Marian Way.
Fourth Trent Crossing
This scheme was to the east of Lady Bay Bridge. It was included in Nottinghamshire County Council’s Draft Structure Plan 1989 as unlikely to be built by 2001. The then forecast cost was £13 million.
