WORKS ON the Queensway and Ford Foundry roundabouts is started yesterday (Monday).
When the improvements are completed the scheme will see traffic signals at the roundabouts, additional lanes, shared footway and dedicated off-carriageway cycle routes and enhanced crossing facilities to enable more effective and safer crossing of roads.
The project will create a corridor of connected cycling and walking links to facilitate active travel and is due for completion in summer 2025.
Coun Jan Matecki Warwickshire county council portfolio holder for transport and highways says: “This is a major scheme on busy junctions so, unfortunately, delays will be unavoidable while work is carried out.
“However, we will work closely with the contractor to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum, so please bear with us.
“In the long term, this scheme will improve safety and traffic flow, increase business and retail activity in the area, as well as provide better pedestrian and cycle facilities.”
Traffic management will be limited ti 9.30am – 3.30pm and road users are being asked to plan journeys in advance.
Funding has been allocated funding from the Local Growth Fund administered by the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership, in addition to funding secured from planning obligations.
