ROADWORKS continue on the Birmingham Road in Stratford.
The works, which began on Monday (June 2), are taking place on the outbound section of the Regal Road roundabout. The carriageway will be widened to provide an additional lane onto the roundabout from the southern approach and the footway will be resurfaced along the whole section.
New temporary traffic management arrangements will be introduced to maintain two-way traffic on Birmingham Road. This will involve the use of narrow lanes with outbound traffic redirected to the right turn lane at the roundabout, while the existing outbound lane remains closed.
The outbound footway will also be closed, and pedestrians will be required to divert onto the opposite footway using the existing crossing points.
This scheme to improve the A3400 Birmingham Road corridor follows a major public consultation to address traffic issues around Stratford town centre. The project aims to reduce congestion and improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.
Mark Ryder, executive director for communities at Warwickshire County Council, said: “It’s good to see the scheme continuing to make progress.
“We know that residents and commuters have had their journeys affected by previous works and that there has been a knock-on effect for businesses. Throughout the scheme, we have been committed to working with local people to address problems wherever possible. I urge people to keep communicating with us and we will, in turn, keep issuing regular updated information.”
