Overnight closures on the A45/A46 Tollbar End scheme near Coventry start tomorrow
Overnight road closures will take place over the coming weeks as part of the A45/A46 Tollbar End improvement project near Coventry.
Project manager Paul Nagra said:
We need to close the A46 Coventry Eastern Bypass between Binley Woods roundabout and Tollbar roundabout overnight on various dates over the next few weeks so we can resurface and raise the road level, as well as paint temporary markings.
We need to close this stretch of the A46 to ensure the safety of the workforce and drivers who use the road while the work is carried out. We do try to keep disruption to a minimum, but apologise in advance for any caused.
