Warwickshire County Council has announced a traffic management suspension on the highway improvement works on the A425 Banbury Road to support The ASPS housing development.

This means non-essential roadworks will be paused between 18 October and 2 November, temporarily restoring two-way traffic to the carriageway.

This is in order to remove unnecessary congestion as National Grid uses the school break to carry out statutory works on Myton Road.

The one-way system has been in place since the end of August and will remain for approximately 15 weeks from that point.

Live traffic runs westbound into Warwick along the A425 Banbury Road.

Eastbound traffic leaving the town is being diverted via Gallows Hill and the A452 Europa Way.

Cllr Jennifer Warren, portfolio holder for transport and planning at Warwickshire County Council, said: "Whenever we carry out work on the highways, we are aware of the impact it has on people's journeys and we do all that we can to minimise disruption while maximising the available network.

"This is all about being aware of other factors affecting the network and being flexible for everyone's benefit."
