Tour of Britain: Race timings, road closures and map of the Nottinghamshire route

Stage 4 of the prestigious Tour of Britain returns to Nottinghamshire on Wednesday 6 September 2023.

Newark and Sherwood District will be hosting both the start and finish of stage 4 of the world-famous Tour of Britain cycle race.

The race last came through Nottinghamshire in 2022 going from West Bridgford through to Mansfield.

This year Sherwood Forest will provide a stunning backdrop to the Tour of Britain cycle race when it returns to the county on Wednesday 6 September.

Stage four of the showpiece event will start at Forest Corner in Edwinstowe – a short distance away from the iconic Major Oak and RSPB Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre – before finishing in Newark-on-Trent on Wednesday 6 September.

For the safety of drivers, spectators and riders alike, temporary traffic restrictions will be introduced along the route.

The start of the race is being held at Forest Corner in Edwinstowe. Traffic will be able to access the car parks up until 10:45 when Swinecote Road will be closed for the start of the race.

The road and car parks will remain closed until 12 noon, this is to make sure that all support vehicles can clear the area safely. Any spectators using these car parks will not be able to leave by car until after 12:00 noon.

There will be spectator activities taking place after the start of the race to keep everyone entertained until the car parks re-open.

As the race progresses through the district there will be a rolling roadblock in operation to keep disruption to a minimum.

Spectators are of course welcome along the route, but they are asked to park with care and consideration, away from the main thoroughfare. As the race passes through some environmentally sensitive areas, parking on verges and in lay-bys especially on Swinecote Road will be prevented.

Southwell will have road closures and restrictions set up during the day, these will be clearly signposted in advance. Otherwise, there will be a rolling roadblock travelling through the district as the race progresses.

In Newark, where the stage will end, the following roads will be closed during the day:

• The B6166, Victoria Street and Portland Street,
• Boundary Road, from the B6166 through to the Hawton Road roundabout, except for access up to 11:00am,
• A section of Hawton Road from the Boundary Road roundabout to St Catherine’s Close will be closed from 11am to 5pm,
• Part of Lombard Street will be closed from 13:30 through to 16:00.

Parking restrictions will be in place in Newark and Southwell from 6pm on Tuesday 5 September, so residents along the route have been asked to find alternative parking for their vehicles from 6pm, Tuesday evening in line with the Temporary Traffic Order. Whilst we will make every effort to remind residents and help them to comply with the order, any vehicles still in breach of these temporary restrictions are at risk of removal and a potential fine through a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

The team from Via will be carrying out gulley cleaning whilst the roads are clear of parked vehicles.

“Welcoming the Tour of Britain to Newark and Sherwood is a great honour and will help to highlight our wonderful District to a wider audience,” states Councillor Paul Peacock, Leader of Newark and Sherwood District Council, “We hope residents will get behind the tour and come out to see the international cycling superstars who will be taking part. We really appreciate the help of our residents in making sure that the event is safe and spectacular, we understand that there will be some inconvenience, but we’re sure that the benefits to our communities along the route far outweigh those.”

Stage 4 of the Tour of Britain will start on Wednesday 6 September at Forest Corner in Edwinstowe and end at Sconce and Devon Park in Newark.

The modern-day Tour of Britain was launched in 2004 and – apart from the Covid-19 pandemic forcing its cancellation in 2020 – has taken place annually every September over eight days.

It is British cycling’s premier road event and will feature the world’s top teams and riders, alongside the best British-based cyclists, with a field expected to be made up of Tour de France winners, Olympians, and world champions.

Live coverage of the race is shown daily in the UK on ITV4, in addition to around the world.

The Tour of Britain is part of the UCI ProSeries, making it one of the most prestigious sporting events in the sport’s global calendar.

Tour of Britain returns to Mansfield

The Nottinghamshire stage of the prestigious Tour of Britain cycle race will once again finish in Mansfield.

Residents, businesses and schools are invited to decorate the route and line the streets to cheer on the world’s top teams and cyclists on Thursday 8 September.

The fifth stage, which will start in West Bridgford, will enter Mansfield district via Market Warsop before heading to Mansfield Woodhouse, Forest Town and through parts of Mansfield town centre before crossing the finish line on Chesterfield Road South. The neighbouring Civic Centre site will host the Tour of Britain village and a Festival Finale event.

Ross Lamb, from Mansfield, is scheduled to be one of the 114 riders expected to take part. Ross, along with Ollie Peckover, of Ruddington, competes for the Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling team.

Ross said the finish line was just minutes away from his house and he would benefit from local knowledge as the route covers his training roads.

“I’m really looking forward to doing it. After the last couple of years of Covid-19 it’s something for everyone in the region to look forward to and shout about,” he said.

The council is contributing £50,000 towards hosting the event, which aims to energise residents and attract visitors from outside the area. Attracting and hosting major events such as the Tour of Britain helps to create a positive image of Mansfield and provide confidence to investors and residents. This eagerly anticipated event in also in line with the council’s health and wellbeing priorities.

Executive Mayor of Mansfield Andy Abrahams said: “What an honour it will be to see the Tour of Britain returning to Nottinghamshire this year and yet another festival finale here in Mansfield.

“We’ve worked with the Tour of Britain team to take the route through some of our priority neighbourhoods so that more of our communities can experience the thrill of the race.

“If you live in Market Warsop, Mansfield Woodhouse, Racecourse, Newgate or Portland wards then you are in for a treat! Get out on to your pavement and see the riders whizzing through your streets before it heads back to the town centre finish line.

“We’re able to support the hosting of the Tour of Britain with help from the Towns Fund Destination Mansfield project, which looks to reposition Mansfield as a place to live, work and visit. This is the first activity in a three-year plan to help improve the image and reputation of the district and put us well and truly on the map as an event-friendly town.”

Michael Robinson, Interim Co-CEO, said: “Mansfield will no doubt be ready to give the Tour the warmest of welcomes this September. The race will pass by more schools, more villages and more businesses than in previous years, so the community can experience the tour in their neighbourhood.

“We’ll be encouraging everyone to dress their buildings and line the streets to cheer on the riders. It’ll be an electric not-to-be-missed atmosphere once more.

“Mansfield will be seen on TV by millions of viewers around the world so this is a great opportunity to raise our profile globally.”

Councillor Andy Burgin, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Environment, said: “As a Warsop councillor, I couldn’t be happier to see the route entering Mansfield via our village this time around. What an opportunity it will be for people living and working in Warsop to experience a global event like this on their doorstep. For some it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and something they’ll never forget.”

Detailed information on the route and travel restrictions will be published nearer the time. Rolling road closures will be in place so delays of up to 30 minutes can be expected on the day. The route must be free of vehicles, so motorists are asked not to park on the roadside.

In 2017 Mansfield welcomed stage 4, hosting the start from Mansfield Market Place, the Tour returned for a festival finale of the penultimate stage of the 2018 race, finishing at the Civic Centre.

Tour of Britain – road closures & travel disruption

South Yorkshire will be hosting stage three of the Tour of Britain men’s cycling race on Thursday 5 September.

The race will start from Arundel Gate in Sheffield city centre, and head west, skirting the Peak District National Park, for the first categorised King of the Mountains climbs above Loxley before settling down to pass through Chapeltown and out of the city into Rotherham.

Arundel Gate

For the safe setup of staging and barriers at the start line on Arundel Gate, the road will close at approximately 4am on the day of the race. The presentation of teams on the podium will begin at 09:50, ahead of the stage start at 11:00.

We expect Arundel Gate to reopen at around 3pm later that day, after the removal of all staging and barriers.

Rolling Road Closure

To manage the race safely and ensure that spectators have an enjoyable experience, a robust Traffic Management Plan has been established. The race will be managed by a rolling road closure, which means roads on and around the race route will be closed for a short period – usually about 15 to 30 minutes – as the race passes by. This will be indicated by police escort vehicles.

The route will be marked with yellow advanced warning signs in the run up to the race and members of the public will be politely asked to refrain from parking during the hours of 10:00 – 14:00 on Thursday 5 September.

The impact on public transport and travel

Roads on and connected to the route will be affected throughout the day on Thursday 5 September and some bus services will be diverted or suspended according to road closures. Full information about affected bus services is available at travelsouthyorkshire.com/tob2024 .

Journeys may take longer than usual; we encourage you to plan ahead and check before you travel.

Construction of B&O Bike Trail tunnel moving ahead

Mansfield Mayor Jodie Perry has recently shared an update on social media about the Richland B&O Trail tunnel which is being constructed.

"'I can't believe you're building a tunnel. What are you thinking?'" Perry said she has heard many times since the project went to city council earlier this year.

Perry said the tunnel is a project that actually was started several years ago, but when shovels hit the ground it undoubtedly gets more attention.

Perry answered some of the questions she has gotten about the project:

Where does it go?

The tunnel will connect the Trimble Road multi-modal path to the B&O Bike Trail. A new connector trail is being built in 2025 from the south side of the tunnel to the bike trail. There is another section of the the trail being built along Millsboro Road from Trimble to Marion roads in 2025. The goal is that it will one day connect down Marion to downtown, she said.

Multi-modal, what does that mean?

Perry said it's the engineer's term for multiple ways of transit. This is a wider path to allow bicycles and pedestrians all at the same time. The one along Trimble Road from Cook to Marion is what it will look like.

Why do you even have to worry about crossing Trimble?

Perry said Trimble Road is five lanes across and very busy. To ensure the safety of all ages of users the project partners decided a crossing of some sort was needed.

Why not a traffic light?

The length of time of a light to allow safe crossing would slow down traffic considerably for this stretch of road, inconveniencing travelers on a regular basis. Additionally, there are certain rules and metrics that are required to put a traffic light in and this intersection didn't meet those. And finally, putting in a light is not as inexpensive as you might think.

Why not build a bridge?

Actually, it isn't cheaper at all. A bridge was actually considered, Perry said, but the cost was far higher than the $1.1 million tunnel, she said. The B&O Trail is actually one of the area's top attractions with thousands of users per year. Once the trail is fully connected it will see a lot of use, much as the current trail along Trimble does. Connecting the bike trail from this area of town is difficult because none of the road that go south are very wide. This will encourage more use of the trails in general.

Experts have shared that communities with active trail systems see strong economic revitalization over time.

Why are you spending all of the tax dollars on this project?

The money for this project comes from multiple sources and with the exception of the city and county ARPA funds, none of it could be used for a pool, which many have asked for. And a pool would not be built in time to use ARPA funds, since there is a deadline on that money. There is also private money from the Richland County Foundation so the full cost is not from public money.

Why water and sewer funds?

When you dig into the ground on public right of way, inevitably you will run into public utilities. In this case, a major water line and storm sewer line were impacted by the project. The engineers actually calculate the exact cost of that work. That is the only reason water and sewer funds are being used. This is actually very routine on projects like this. Our water and sewer funds are not allowed to be used on other projects. We are audited on that every year. Additionally the new water main replacement levy, which will start to be collected in 20256, is not being used for this project and could not be used for any project like this, Perry said. That money will only be able to be spent for updating our very small water mains all over.

What if it isn't safe?

Just like with the B&O Bike Trail or our parks, the more something gets used, the less opportunity there is for issues. We are also installing cameras to make sure residents feel safe.

For those who say they wish the city would not have done this project, Perry said the project has been in the works for two years. While it was in process before I took office3, I absolutely support it. I believe when it is all connected, most people will see the benefit of a trail like this. There is an unprecedented amount of public works projects happening in our community and in large part that is thanks to all of the grant money that has been coming in. We could not do projects like this, Main Street, or others solely with local funds. This is undoubtedly a time of great opportunity for Mansfield and we are trying to maker our resources go as far as possible.

We will keep residents updated when the road reopens in October, Perry said.
