A consultation on plans to expand Nottingham’s congested Nottingham Knight and Wheatcroft A52 junctions has been extended after officials realised an email address wasn’t working.
The survey for work on the congested areas near West Bridgford will be extended.
This is because a previous email address for residents submit objections and comments is “no longer valid”, National Highways said.
Residents have been asked to resubmit questions to a new email address.
National Highways said: “We’ve now extended the consultation period after identifying that the email address provided previously to submit objections is no longer valid.”

National Highways apologised for the “inconvenience” caused.
They said in a statement: “If you’ve already submitted an objection to the previously email address, we kindly ask you to resubmit it to ensure it is properly received and considered.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and want to ensure that everyone can participate fully in the consultation process. ”
National Highways has been working on a scheme to reduce delays, increase capacity and improve pedestrian and cyclist routes on the A52 in Nottingham.
The construction of Nottingham Knight and Wheatcroft roundabouts, which is expected to begin in Autumn this year, will see them enlarged and redesigned.
The Nottingham Knight Junction will be expanded to the east of the existing roundabout, with a new layout and a new link road from A52 eastbound.
The Wheatcroft roundabout will also be enlarged to the south of the existing roundabout, with a new hamburger layout and link road from A52 eastbound to A606 Melton Road.
The approaches to the junction will be widened to provide extra lanes and increase capacity.
This will allow for a better flow of traffic and reduce congestion through the junctions.
There will be signs and signalling crossings on both roundabouts to make it safer for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians crossing the junction and manage the flow of traffic.
All crossing points will be designed for users with disabilities.
The planned upgrades will “improve journey time reliability through thejunctions”, documents say.
National Highways submitted their Order to the Secretary of State for Transport on November 25 last year.
Once approved, this will allow National Highways to purchase the strips of land to widen roads and begin works.
The Compulsory Purchase Order and Side Roads Order enables an authority to acquire the land and rights necessary for the construction and maintenance of a new highway.
The deadline for any objection or representation to the Order has now been extended by 13 days to 12 February 2025.
The overall scheme was announced in 2014 as part of the government’s Road Investment Strategy to improve junctions along the length of the A52 in Nottingham.
Works on Nottingham Road and Cropwell Road junctions were completed in 2017.
In 2021, National Highways then carried out work on the four remaining smaller junctions – at Bingham, Stragglethorpe, Silverdale and Gamston.
