The works, which are being funded by Warwickshire County Council, the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) through the Government’s Local Growth Deal funding and developer funding, will address queuing issues when driving into and out of Warwick during the morning and evening peak periods, support economic growth, and provide and improve walking and cycling facilities.

A spokesperson from Warwickshire County Council said: “Traffic management information will be released via our email subscriptions in due course, however in the first six weeks or so, works will be offline and will not cause significant disruption to the network.

“There will however be a need for traffic management as the scheme progresses but this will be kept to a minimum as much as possible.”
