A fortnight of overnight closures at a busy junction near Warwick and Leamington Spa is due to start next week.

Warwickshire County Council has said the Myton Road and Queensway roundabouts will be closed from 8pm to 6am from 21 July.

This will last for 15 nights.

"This is to carry out the carriageway resurfacing works on the north of the scheme," the county council website said.

"Diversion routes will be in place and the routes issued shortly."

The schedule of works across the two roundabouts

Works have also continued on Myton Road this month as contractors install a new toucan crossing.

The local authority has already closed the roundabouts overnight earlier this year for works on the scheme.

When completed, the major project will see traffic signals at the two roundabouts, additional lanes, shared footway and dedicated off-carriageway cycle routes, and enhanced crossing facilities to enable more effective and safer crossing of roads.  

Due for completion in summer 2025, the project will "complement existing routes and create a corridor of connected cycling and walking links to help facilitate active travel".
