Further roadworks are set to begin to improve the existing access road and create a new route for the new 3,000 home development. The increase roadworks will begin on Monday, September 5, off Mill Hill roundabout and on the Clifton South tram terminus access road, from the A453 Remembrance Way.
The works are taking place to prepare for the new £800m Fairham neighbourhood, Clifton Pastures south of Clifton, near the village of Barton-in-Fabis. Day and night time works will increase from next week and hope to be completed in April 2023, in order to create the new access road and controlled junction, and improved access to the existing Park and Ride in Clifton.
While the roadworks are ongoing, access to and from the Clifton South Park and Ride will be maintained at all times to keep traffic flowing whilst the roadworks for new earthworks, carriageway and signalisation takes place. Construction traffic will be rerouted away from civilian traffic during the works.

O’Brien Contractors Ltd will be carrying out the work on behalf of Clowes Developments, the company behind the Fairham masterplan, which is being brought forward in partnership with Homes England, the government’s housing accelerator. As well as new homes and employment space, there will be a neighbourhood centre and educational, community, sports and leisure facilities at Fairham.
The development is expected to bring thousands of homes, jobs and opportunities to Nottingham, and will become the East Midlands's most significant mixed use development with a mix of residential and commercial amenities with one million square feet of employment space. There will also be more than 200 acres of greenspace across the site.
The new community has been designed around a highly sustainable, ultra-connected location set amid the green landscape of south Nottinghamshire. With all amenities co-located alongside one another, it will be one of the most highly accessible as well as greenest new communities in the region.
The scheme will help provide new employment opportunities and will assist Rushcliffe Borough Council in meeting its new homes target of 13,500 dwellings by 2030. Ali Malik, Infrastructure Director at Clowes Developments, said: "This work is all about creating an important new access for Fairham that will link to the whole of the development in the future.
"This will allow us to continue to build the internal road network to service the new homes, jobs, amenities and leisure facilities we’re creating at this major new neighbourhood for Nottingham." A spokesperson for O’Brien Contractors Ltd, added: ‘The start of these further enabling and access works at the northern entrance to Fairham will bring improved and easier access to the development and surrounding area.
"It is all part of a package of works being completed across the Fairham site that will facilitate the next phase of development for the benefit of people across the region."
