The A46 will be reduced to two lanes around Kenilworth for around four months as contractors work on the verges this week.

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) has confirmed the lane closures will be in places on the dual carriageway from Stonebridge Highway Junction (Stivichall) and the Leamington Road Junction (Thickthorn).

On the morning of Wednesday 24 April the A46 will be reduced to two lanes between the two junctions.

The lane closures will remain in place until the evening of Sunday 11 August 2024.

"Due to the reduction in road capacity, residents are advised to expect delays during peak times," WCC said.

Full overnight closures will be in place over the first two nights and final two nights to allow the closures to be put in place.

There will also be HS2 roadworks around the A46 between May and October, before the new bridge is installed in early 2025.

"The council would like to thank residents for their patience whilst these works are carried out and apologies in advance for any inconvenience caused," WCC added.
