Road users in the Twycross area warned of weekend road closures.

ROAD users travelling to and from Twycross have been warned the A444 junction with the A5 at Redgate will be closed for two weeks at the end of this month as part of a major programme of road and infrastructure improvements near the new Enterprise Zone outside Hinckley.

The A444 Atherstone Road at the junction with the A5 will be closed for two weeks from the night of Friday, October 31. This is to enable  the reconstruction of the new junction.. There will be no access for traffic travelling to or from Twycross using that junction. But  full access to businesses and properties/villages along the A444 will be maintained. A diversion route will be signed along the B4116 to Atherstone as well as the A42/M42.

The A444 Weddington Lane junction for traffic travelling to and from Nuneaton has now re-opened to traffic, but with traffic movements restricted to left turns only onto and off the A5.

Some delays will be inevitable, but every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum.
