HS2 has announced a fortnight of overnight works along the A46 this February.

The high speed rail developer will be completing the works in two phases, starting on February 14.

The road will see the dual carriageway once again reduced to one lane between the Thickthorn roundabout and Stoneleigh junction, at certain times.

HS2 says this to "enable verge management" ahead of installing safety barriers in the spring.

"We will also carry out survey and inspection work of the road surface," it added.

The works will follow Warwickshire County Council reducing traffic around Stoneleigh junction to one lane for the new bridge to be installed.

Phase 1, Northbound

14 February to 25 February 2023

Time: 8pm to 6am

Works will take place Monday to Friday for two weeks.

A46 reduced to a single lane on the northbound carriageway between; the Thickthorn Interchange (Leamington) and the Stoneleigh Junction.

There will be no restrictions in place over the weekends.

Phase 2, Southbound

20 February to 25 February 2023

Time: 8pm to 6am

The northbound works will continue during phase 2 with the addition of southbound works.

A46 reduced to a single lane on the southbound carriageway between; Festival Island (A45) and Thickthorn (Leamington).

Southbound slip road onto the A46 from the Stoneleigh junction will be closed.

There will be a full diversion in place heading north to Festival Island (A45) and returning southbound on the A46.
