It enters the City of Nottingham at the A6464 "Priory" roundabout ("Woodside Road" leading to the A6005) in Lenton Abbey with the "Shell Priory " garage on the right, and the "Wollaton Park" Toby Carvery pub on the left on "Wollaton Vale" road. To the left is Wollaton Park and nearby to the south is the University of Nottingham. The junction at the Queen's Medical Centre with the A6514 "Middleton Boulevard" was originally a roundabout, but became a GSJ, costing £3.7 million in late 1983. The former route through Nottingham is now the A6200, then down "Angel Row", "Wheeler Gate", "Lister Gate" then through what is now the Broadmarsh Centre and past the railway station on "Carrington Street", through The Meadows as "Arkwright Street" to a point near the A60/A6011 junction, over Trent Bridge and along the current A6520 "Radcliffe Road". South of here it follows the former A614 as "Clifton Boulevard". There is a junction for "Abbey Street" (A6005 - former A453) which was originally a much smaller temporary flyover, but was improved in June 1990 at a cost of £5.5 million, which is where the former A614 terminated. It crosses the Beeston Canal and Nottingham - Derby/Loughborough railway line and follows the Clifton Boulevard around the south of Nottingham. It overlaps the A453, then the A453 exits for the M1 and Clifton near the Texaco "Silverdale Service Station" and The Becket School.
