The bridge over the A46 junction at Stoneleigh is set to close on multiple dates over the summer, the county council has confirmed.

Worked resumed on the over-budget and much-delayed scheme at the start of 2026, with works due to run into the summer of next year.

Warwickshire County Council has said the last few weeks have seen "great progress" made.

And in order to "safely carry out essential works associated with the scheme," contractors will need to close the Stoneleigh Road bridge over the A46 on multiple dates.

The closures are scheduled to take place on the following dates:

• 30 May and 31 May 2026
• 26 June and 29 June 2026
• 3 July and 6 July 2026
• 25 July and 26 July 2026

The last published estimate cost of £57 million is more than two-and-a-half times the £21 million mooted when the project was initially taken forward by the Conservatives in 2016 and 50 per cent more than the £38 million quoted when more detailed plans were rubber stamped.
