There are delays of over twelve minutes and increasing on the A46 between Farndon roundabout and Newark’s Cattle Market roundabout in both directions.

The average speed is five mph in the area.

Heavier than usual traffic is reported on the road, which is likely to be caused by the closure of Farndon Road due to flooding.

The Southbound carriageway also has delays between the Winthorpe interchange and Cattle Market roundabout.

Delays of seven minutes and increasing are reported on the A616 westbound, with an average speed of ten mph.
