From HS2:
The work we are doing
We will be pushing a new box structure to take the HS2 line under the A46 near Kenilworth. Once the box is slid into place, we will complete the remaining works; resurface the carriageway, reinstate the white lines and safety barriers ready to reopen the A46. While we deliver the works there will be increased construction activity, 24/7 operation, overnight lighting and some additional noise. We will minimise the impact on residents as much as possible.
When the work will take place
To ensure the safety of our workforce, we will be closing a section of the A46 from the Stivichall Interchange (Festival Island) to the Thickthorn Island (A452 for Leamington and Kenilworth) for 19 days: we will hold three days as a contingency in case of an unforeseen event:
8pm Friday 11 April until 6am Thursday 1 May 2025
Afterwards there will be lane closures on the north and southbound carriageways with a speed restriction of 50mph until Thursday 31 July.
In the event of a programme delay we have a contingency window booked for 8pm Friday 16 May to 6am Thursday 5 June.
What to expect
A fully signposted strategic diversion for HGVs in the region and a local diversion as well as special access arrangements for the villages of Stoneleigh and Ashow, please see the maps on the next pages. Join us for a community drop-in event at the Kenilworth Centre on Monday 17 March between 2pm and 7pm to find out more about the A46.
More information about the works can be found here.

The South Warwickshire Local Plan team have identified the area of Green Belt south of Westwood Heath Road as potentially suitable for development of up to 5000 houses (see map below). 
 
The Parish Council has organised a public meeting on Monday 10th February at 7 pm in the Village Hall, Red Lane so you can:-

• make your views known to your Parish Council

This meeting is intended to make it as easy as possible for everyone to make the case against SG01. Click here for more information.

Waste Lane is to be close to all traffic (including cyclists and pedestrians) from 6am on Monday 17th Feb until 5pm on Friday 21st Feb 2025. A diversion will be in place, see map below.
​
​From HS2: "To enable the new railway to pass under Waste Lane, the road will have to be realigned over a new bridge before the existing bridge is demolished. Last year, a number of trees were removed to make way for the approaches to the new bridge. We now need to close the road for a week to remove the stumps. This is a complex operation as the tree roots are potentially wrapped around important utilities that are buried in the verge. For that reason, it will not be possible to allow pedestrians and cyclists through the closure"

A429 Kenilworth Road will be closed from Monday 24 February 2025 to Saturday 22 March 2025. The closure will be in place 24 hours a day.

Kenilworth Road will remain open for pedestrians and cyclists. Access to properties will be maintained.
