A one-way system is set to be installed around the new Asps housing estate between Warwick and Leamington for nearly four months.

Warwickshire County Council began roadworks around Europa Way and Banbury Road in May, with the new system due to be installed on August 26.

The closure will allow traffic to run westbound into Warwick on the Banbury Road. 

Traffic travelling eastbound, out of Warwick, will have to follow a diversion route via Gallows Hill and the A452 Europa Way.

The one-way system is expected to be in place for 15 weeks. 

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) said the part closure will "reduce unnecessary congestion on the network".

Nighttime closures will be needed in the area towards the end of the scheme - anticipated in November 2025 - for five nights.

Cllr Jennifer Warren, WCC portfolio holder for transport and planning, said: "The works will enable safe access to vehicles into the new housing developments and are essential.

"What we can control, to an extent, is the effect it will have on traffic so we chose the traffic management option that will best allow the swiftest possible completion of the works. 

"We appreciate that this will cause some journeys to be delayed but we ask motorists to bear with us and to be patient while the works are ongoing." 

Works are being paid for by developers, Taylor Wimpey and Bloor, through a section 278 agreement.

The Asps will ultimately see 900 homes, primary school and a park and ride built.
