Locals are being told to allow extra time for their journeys as works on the Queensway and Ford Foundry (Myton Road/Old Warwick Road) roundabouts are well underway. 

As the programme of works enters a new phase, traffic management is to be extended: from 22 - 31 July, traffic management will be from 8am - 5pm. 

Warwickshire County Council said the effect on traffic will be monitored.

When completed, the scheme 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.  

Cllr Jan Matecki, portfolio holder for transport and highways, says: "We understand that this major scheme on busy junctions will inevitably cause some delays, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

"Rest assured; we are working closely with the contractor to minimise disruption as much as possible.

"We are making adjustments as the scheme progresses and we have a clearer picture of how people's journeys are being affected.

"We truly appreciate the patience and cooperation of commuters, local businesses and residents during this time. In the long run, this project will greatly enhance safety and traffic flow, boost business and retail activity, and offer more options for active travel.

"Thank you for your understanding and support."
