HIGHWAY WORK
Delivering a new roundabout access on the A46
Access to Stratford46 Business Park will be provided by a new roundabout on the A46, located on the northwestern part of the site.
The detailed design of the access has been agreed with National Highways, which is responsible for the A46, and with Warwickshire County Council Highways.
The new roundabout will link the A46, Drayton Manor Drive and the new internal site access road and will help to improve safety and access for existing and future users of the local road network.
Construction programme
Construction work on the new roundabout began in summer 2025, and we are committed to delivering this work with minimal disruption or delay. This includes keeping the community informed and updated as the business park progresses. One of our first activities from Summer 2025 has been conducting overnight surveys alongside the A46, which requires the use of temporary traffic lights and lane closures overnight to enable work to take place safely while keeping the road open.
It is a requirement that during peak daytime hours, traffic flow in both directions on the A46 must be uninterrupted to minimise disruption in the area and prevent any delays.
Most of the construction work will therefore be carried out ‘offline’, adjacent to the A46, without interrupting traffic flow and with the remainder during nighttime working. Once we have built three quarters of the new roundabout, eastbound and westbound traffic will then be diverted onto this area, allowing the remaining quarter of the roundabout to be built.
To maintain safe conditions for road users and construction personnel during the works, a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) to reduce the speed limit to 40mph will be put in place throughout the works area.
There will be some occasions where two-way temporary traffic signals will be installed for a short period at night.
Once all of the main works have a been completed, a series of night-time closures will take place later in 2026 for final surfacing and road markings to be installed prior to the full opening of the new roundabout. We will communicate further detail on this in due course.
