ROAD closures are set to take place on one of Rugby’s busiest main roads, with resurfacing due to begin in February.
A £1.5million scheme to resurface the A426, from the Tesco Roundabout to Junction 1 of the M6, is expected to last until the end of March.
A northbound section of the road will be closed during the works, with additional closures on southbound sections over weekends to allow the roundabouts to be resurfaced – excluding Newton Roundabout where resurfacing was recently carried out.
The work will take place overnight seven days a week between 7pm and 5am.
An earlier finishing time was agreed to allow staff turnover at local businesses at 6am.
Coun Jennifer Warren, Warwickshire County Council’s spokesperson for transport and planning, said: “We are letting people know well in advance of this work actually happening to let them know we are on our way and to allow time for planning.
“It’s been an excellent exercise in working with local businesses and showing flexibility to move timings around to best accommodate them. It’s ongoing but we are working well together to keep disruption to a minimum.”
Details of timings and road closures are still being finalised. Visit www.warwickshire.gov.uk/roadworksmap for more information as it becomes available.
