Traffic woes continue for Kenilworth residents as more road closures announced - including one lasting 14 months

Both Dalehouse Lane and Cromwell Lane in nearby Burton Green are due to be closed from Tuesday April 7.

Dalehouse Lane will be completely closed up until June 2027 so that work can take place to construct a new overbridge that will raise the road over the HS2 railway.

The closure will be in place all day and night and HS2 said it anticipates the closure will be in place until 6pm on June 7, 2027.

A spokesperson from HS2 said: “There will be increased construction activity during the closure, and you will experience some disruption to your travel times.

"Please plan ahead to avoid delays to your journey.

"A fully signed diversion route will be in place throughout the period of closure.

“HS2 is undergoing a comprehensive reset to ensure it can be built efficiently and for the lowest reasonable cost.

"This work is being carried out in stages and will be completed in 2026.

"We will provide you with updates on the reset and what this means for our plans to build the railway in your area.”

Cromwell Lane in Burton Green is also set to be closed from 8am on Tuesday April 7.

The closure is due to be in place all day and night, up until August 30.

This is again because of HS2 works – this time to relocate utilities, surfacing works and re-aligning the road.

Several weekend closures have also been announced for Stoneleigh Road.

According to Kenilworth Town Council, Stoneleigh Road will be closed between the A46 Northbound slip road (north and south) and the A46 Southbound slip road (north and south) on the following weekends:

• April 25 to 26
• May 30 to 31
• June 27 to 28
• July 25 to 26
• March 27 to 28 2027

The council said the closure have been put in place to “safely enable works for new parapet fence, new street lighting modification and the removal of Temporary Vertical Concrete Barriers (TVCB).
