Heading east as "Radcliffe Road" with Bassingfield to the right, the £25,000 (£ as of ), dual-carriageway section from Holme House built in 1956 finishes at the start of the Radcliffe on Trent bypass as "Grantham Road". There is the BP "Pierrepont Filling Station" just before the turn-off for Radcliffe on Trent. This stretch has SPECS cameras along it. Close by is the Holme Pierrepont National Watersports Centre. The road goes past Upper Saxondale, then meets the A46 at the large Saxondale roundabout, which has the "Shell Saxondale" garage. The road runs roughly parallel with the Nottingham-Grantham railway between Radcliffe on Trent and Grantham. From the A46, the road heads east past Bingham on the £2.6 million (£ as of ), Bingham bypass opened in December 1986. The road passes the Murco Petroleum Ltd "Kings Service Station" on the left. There is a left turn for Scarrington, then it passes a HM Prison Whatton at Whatton-in-the Vale, near to where it crosses the River Smite.
