Planned closures of the A46 near Kenilworth for HS2 works have been postponed, the high speed rail developer has confirmed.

The dual carriageway was due to shut overnight on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 August 2025. 

This has now been pushed to October, but no firm dates have been confirmed.

HS2 said: "We are completing the final utility connections, vehicle safety system and central reservations, then remove all the traffic management ready to reopen the A46. 

"We have postponed these works due to a delay to a utility connection and plan to finish the work in October 2025.

"Once confirmed we will issue a communication with the new dates and diversion routes.

"As a contingency we will hold a second weekend in October in case of a further delay or inclement weather."
