HS2 has announced a fortnight of overnight works along the A46 this February.

The high speed rail developer will be completing the works in two phases, starting on February 14.

The road will see the dual carriageway once again reduced to one lane between the Thickthorn roundabout and Stoneleigh junction, at certain times.

HS2 says this to "enable verge management" ahead of installing safety barriers in the spring.

"We will also carry out survey and inspection work of the road surface," it added.

The works will follow Warwickshire County Council reducing traffic around Stoneleigh junction to one lane for the new bridge to be installed.
