Drivers advised of overnight closures on the A38 near Derby
The A38 northbound between the A38/B5016 Barton-under-Needwood junction and A38/A5121 Branston junction will be closed overnight for four weeks from Tuesday 5 May while the carriageway is resurfaced.
The existing worn out road surface will be replaced with a low noise surface which will reduce traffic noise for local residents and improve safety for all users.

At the junction with A515 take the exit to A515 north, sign posted Ashbourne/Uttoxeter. Continue along the A515 northwards to the A38/A50 roundabout at Sudbury. Take the third exit onto the A50 eastbound and continue to its junction with A38/A50 Toyota roundabout.
The closures during May will be at the following times, please be advised that these can be subject to change:
- Monday to Thursday - 9pm to 6am each night
