Motorists told to expect disruption amid new Birmingham Road roadworks
Resurfacing of the road and the nearby footpath will start from today
Motorists in Warwickshire are being told to prepare for disruption as a new set of roadworks on the Birmingham Road corridor get underway.
Warwickshire County Council confirmed that roadworks on the road would be commencing from Monday (June 2nd).
The phase will focus on renewing the outbound footway/cycleway section by the Regal Road roundabout.
According to the Council, a number of works will be done such as widening the carriageway to add an extra lane to the Regal Road roundabout.
As well as this, the footpath will also be completely resurfaced as a means to improve the efficiency of the junction.
Due to this, the council has warned of various new traffic arrangements that will be brought in to keep two-way traffic going on the road.
Speaking on the next phase of the roadworks, Mark Ryder from Warwickshire County Council, said he was happy to be seeing progress being made on the road, which serves as a vital link with Birmingham.
"We know that residents and commuters have had their journeys affected by previous works and that there has been a knock-on effect for businesses," he said.
"Throughout the scheme, we have been committed to working with local people to address problems wherever possible. I urge people to keep communicating with us and we will, in turn, keep issuing regular updated information."
