The a1 northbound carriageway in Nottinghamshire was closed on Sunday after a serious crash between the A6075 at Tuxford and the A638 at Markham Moor. National Highways said Nottinghamshire Police shut the road for full investigation works.
Two women were taken to hospital after a car collided with a tree, a Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said. That leaves drivers on a key northbound stretch without a reopening time, so the closure is still in place while the investigation continues.
Sunday morning on the A1
The fire service was called on Sunday morning after the collision with a tree. The crash details matter to anyone travelling that route because the closure covers the northbound carriageway, not just a short lane restriction, and the blocked section runs between two named junction points used by traffic crossing Nottinghamshire.
For drivers already on the road, the immediate practical point is simple: the northbound A1 is not available between Tuxford and Markham Moor while the crash scene is examined. A separate road closure can be handled as a delay; this one removes a section of the main route from use altogether until the work is done.
National Highways and Nottinghamshire Police
National Highways said the road was closed by Nottinghamshire Police between the A6075 and the A638 for full investigation works. The agency also posted that there was "no time for reopening at this stage," which means there is no public return time for traffic to use the road again.
That leaves the next step with the investigators at the scene rather than with drivers planning around a timetable. Anyone heading north through Nottinghamshire will need to treat the route as unavailable until a further update is issued, and the safest option is to avoid building the closed stretch into any journey plan.
Tuxford to Markham Moor
The affected section sits between Tuxford and Markham Moor, with the closure running on the northbound side of the A1. The key point for readers is that the interruption is tied to an active crash investigation, not a routine maintenance stop, so the road stays shut until that work is finished.
