Western Boulevard live Nottingham crash updates as traffic builds and lane closed

A lane is closed on Western Boulevard outside the city centre after a road traffic collision.[1] Traffic is reportedly heavy and queuing on the road, the A6514 which runs between Crown Island in Wollaton and Valley Road in Basford. The crash has occurred at the junction with Wilkinson Street on the southbound side of the road, heading towards the city and which is a dual carriageway and has a speed limit of 40mph. Traffic aggregator INRIX reported that, initially, all three lanes were blocked but now only one lane remains closed.

A tweet was posted on the NottmTravelwise X (formerly Twitter) account, saying: “RTC on Western Boulevard southbound, junction with Wilkinson St. Emergency services on scene and have Western Boulevard southbound and the right turn from Western Boulevard into Wilkinson St. Please use an alternative route at this time due to large queues on Western Boulevard.”
