Stoneleigh Road will remain closed until early March, Warwickshire County Council has confirmed.

The road over the A46 will remain shut between Dalehouse Lane and Kings Hill Lane until March 3.

It has been closed as part of the £38 million works at the Stoneleigh Island junction since January.

A new bridge was installed over the road last month.

A council spokesperson said: "Our contractor has informed us that a further extension on the road closure on Stoneleigh Road is required.

"This will have a knock-on effect for the proposed Dalehouse Lane closures."

Dalehouse Lane will be closed on March 4 and 5 to "allow the safe construction of the connection to the existing and new roads".

A council spokesperson added: "We recognise these closures are likely to continue cause some disruption in the surrounding area in the short term, but these are required to ensure the works are carried out safely for both members of the public and our workforce.

"We apologise for the late notice of these changes and appreciate your continued patience during the works."
