Cllr Wallace Redford, Warwickshire County Council portfolio holder for transport and highways, said the overall aim of the Stoneleigh Junction scheme is to reduce the regular delays and queueing traffic and make sure it can cope with future growth.

He added: “These lane closures are essential in order to allow for delivery and installation of the bridge deck, which forms part of the Stoneleigh Junction Improvement Scheme. We would like to sincerely thank local residents for their continued patience with these essential developments to the junction, which forms part of this Council’s commitment to ensuring that residents are supported through excellent transport infrastructure.”
