COVENTRY City supporters travelling to the club’s Good Friday fixture against West Bromwich Albion could be affected by a road closure on the A46.

The A46 will shut near Kenilworth to allow the installation of a 14,500-tonne box structure.

The structure is set to carry the new HS2 rail line under the road.

A section of the A46 will be closed in both directions between the A45 Festival roundabout and A452 Thickthorn roundabout.

The closure will be in place from 8pm on April 11 and will remain closed completely until May 1.

The Sky Blues host West Brom on Good Friday (Friday, April 18) at the Coventry Building Society Arena with kick-off at 3pm.




Diversions will be in place for drivers, but they are advised to expect delays. Drivers are asked to plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys.

Local traffic diversions will be via the A452, A445, A423 and A45 – this map is shown below.


Meanwhile for HGVs and long-distance traffic, the diversion will be via the M40, M42 and M6.
