The OVO Energy Tour of Britain is coming to Nottinghamshire this Saturday, September 8 - and these are the details of the route and road closures for the day.

Stage Seven of this year's cycle race is making its way through 134 miles of our area on the penultimate day of the event.

It's the longest of any of the stages this year, and the sixth longest since the Tour of Britain returned 14 years ago.

Here's what you need to know about the route, road closures, and timings.

THE ROUTE

The race will start in West Bridgford at 10.30am, and is expected to finish in Mansfield just before 4pm. While it won't come into the very heart of Nottingham city centre - as it did in 2015 - it will go along London Road, Queen's Road and Queens Drive before making its way through The Meadows and then back over Trent Bridge and into South Notts.

You can see full details of the route by zooming in on the map below.

The very first section of the race is what's known as 'neutralised', meaning the riders will not really be racing until the peloton has formed a group. 'Proper' racing will only start once the riders reach Wilford Road in Ruddington at around 10.45am.

Then it's off to places including East Leake, Cotgrave, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Southwell, Tuxford, Retford, Worksop, Hucknall and Mansfield.

A Tour spokesman said: "Despite the distance and the cumulative fatigue from a week of racing, expect to see a bunch sprint in Mansfield.

"The fast finishers in the bunch will pass through the finish before undertaking a short circuit around the town, giving them an invaluable insight into the closing kilometres."

ROAD CLOSURES

Along the route, there will be rolling road closures which will typically come into place 15 to 25 minutes ahead of the lead rider(s), and be removed as soon as all the riders are through.

So, for example, in Radcliffe-on-Trent (where the tour is expected to arrive at 11.40am) the approximate road closure times are expected to be 11.15am to 11.55am.

However, the advice for these rolling closures is to avoid the road for about one hour either side of the predicted time of the race passing through.

'No Waiting' restrictions will be in operation from 8am-4pm throughout the race route.

But there are also specific road closures relating to the start and finish, as follows:

Race start in West Bridgford:

• All of Central Avenue will be closed from 4am to 3pm

• Bridgford Road ( between Stratford Road to Rectory Road) will be closed from 4am to 3pm

• No waiting restrictions for the whole length of Rectory Road from 4am to 3pm

Race finish in Mansfield:

• A6191 Chesterfield Road South (From Abbott Road to Rosemary Street) road closed from 5am to 5pm

• A6191 Chesterfield Road South (From Rosemary Street to Crow Hill Drive) road closed from 2pm to 5pm

• A6009 Rosemary Street (Chesterfield Road South to Civic Centre Access Road) road closed from 2pm to 5pm

PARKING

In West Bridgford, the Bridgford Road car park (opposite Co-Op supermarket) will be closed.

Instead, car parking will be available from 8am at nearby Bridge Field, NG2 6AP, County Hall on Loughborough Road, NG2 7QP; and at Nottingham Rugby Club in Lady Bay, NG2 5AA (see map below).
