A MAIN road linking Rugby and Coventry is set for a mixture of single lane and full closures from next week through to March.
Essential maintenance on the A45 between Memorial Island and Thurlaston is being undertaken to improve safety and reduce the risk of carriageway flooding.
The drainage work, which starts today (Monday December 1), is scheduled to take place overnight between 8pm and 6am when traffic flows are at their lowest to reduce disruption to drivers.
Westbound lane closures will be in place from Monday December 8 to Fri December 19, followed by three months of on-and-off full closures.
A full programme – including cleaning and repairs of pipework, removal of stone and soil build up, ditch maintenance and removal of sediment from drains – will continue until March 2026.
The scheme is designed to help drainage along the carriageway and reduce flooding risk.
During road closures, a fully signed diversion will be in place and residents will be escorted through the works. Access for emergency service vehicles will also be maintained throughout.
The schedule for the works is as follows:
- December 1 to December 7 – preliminary works; no traffic management
- December 8 to December 19 – westbound lane closures
- December 20 to January 5 – Christmas embargo; no traffic management
- January 6 to January 19 – westbound full closures with eastbound lane 2 closure
- January 20 to February 18 – eastbound full closure with westbound lane 2 closure
- February 19 to March 4 – full westbound closure with eastbound lane 2 closure
- March 5 to March 12 – full eastbound closure with westbound lane 2 closure
