Residents say the 'lovely' village is often bombarded with traffic
Nottinghamshire residents have shared how their "peaceful" village can turn to "chaos" when the main road is shut. The A617 begins in Newark and passes through the nearby village of Kelham, linking the village to the other side of the River Trent.
"It's just so much busier and the village now is not what it used to be and I have been here since 1998. The road itself was not designed for this traffic it was designed for horses and carts, especially the bridge, which now has these 40 ton lorries going over it." "When the bridge closes for work and when Kelham Road floods which it frequently does, everyone had to come down here and the traffic backs up and you can't get out. It can take a good half hour from here to Newark."
"When there is a crash or the river bursts its bank they have to shut the road off and then everyone comes this way, but that's not very often." Cindy added: "There's no shop here but Newark is only down the road." But residents have to be cautious of when they want to travel as "it could take five minutes or it could take half an hour," she added.
