After months of disruption caused by roadworks on the Europa Way, the development has now been completed.

The Europa Way Improvement Project on the A452 Ford Foundry caused several traffic restrictions along Myton Road, Old Warwick Road, and Queensway roundabouts,

It aims to provide a major highways and sustainable transport project that will deliver long-lasting benefits for the region.

The scheme, delivered in partnership with contractor CR Reynolds Ltd, was completed to time and budget.

Cllr Jennifer Warren, Warwickshire County Council's Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning, said: "We are delighted to see this Europa Way Project at the A452 Ford Foundry (Myton Road/Old Warwick Road) and Queensway roundabouts completed on time and on budget.

"We know it's been disruptive at times, with nearby roadworks and diversions adding to the pressure, and we thank you for your patience while we carried out these much-needed improvements."

The project has been funded through a combination of developer contributions and £3.6 million from the Local Growth Fund, administered by the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership.

It features:

  • New traffic signals at two roundabouts
  • Additional traffic lanes to improve capacity and flow
  • Shared footpaths and off-carriageway cycle routes
  • Enhanced pedestrian and cycling crossing facilities
  • Innovative drainage solutions including rain gardens and swales

These improvements are designed to create safer and more efficient travel for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists while also supporting active travel by connecting a corridor of cycling and walking links across the area.

The project has been completed in collaboration with Warwickshire County Council and CR Reynolds Ltd, and reflects Warwickshire's 'commitment to sustainability, with significant investment in greener transport choices.'

The scheme has also provided unique educational opportunities, with students from Warwick and Coventry Universities, alongside local school placement students, visiting the site to learn from the project team.

In addition, the scheme has been designed and delivered by a team led predominantly by women.

Local feedback also played an important role in shaping the programme.

New crossings on Queensway roundabout and at the former Aldi site were added during the construction phase following input from local councillors, ensuring the scheme truly meets the needs of the community. 

Cllr Warren added: "This is a transformative scheme that will help improve and control traffic flow and make active travel safer and more accessible.

 "It is a fantastic example of partnership working between the council, contractors, and the community – and one that will deliver safer, greener, and more sustainable travel for Warwickshire for many years to come."
