UPDATE: Existing Bridge Closure – Stoneleigh Road Closure between A46 slip Roads.
UPDATE: Existing Bridge Closure – Stoneleigh Road Closure between A46 slip Roads until 17th December 2023.
The works to allow the safe installation of a new parapet as part of the bridge improvement works are more complicated than expected, due to difficulties arising from the age of the structure. Survey works were carried out before works on site commence to inform the design, but these issues were only uncovered when the existing parapet was removed. It is not currently in a safe state to open.
The expected end date has been extended to the 17th December 2023, however the A46 team are aiming to open it earlier if possible.
Further information about the scheme and planned traffic management including the official diversion route can be found on the scheme website www.warwickshire.gov.uk/a46stoneleighjunction.
