A ONE-WAY system is being put in place on roads around the new Asps housing development in Warwick.
Building started in May, since impact on traffic has been minimal, but the next phase of work, subject to completion of Warwickshire County Council’s Europa Way scheme to reduce congestion, will mean there is a one-way closure to allow traffic to run westbound into Warwick on the Banbury Road.
It is set to be put in place on August 26 and to last 15 weeks.
Traffic travelling eastbound, out of Warwick, will have to follow a diversion route via Gallows Hil and the A452 Europa Way.
Because of restricted space on the highway for construction, night road closures will be permitted for resurfacing and road marking works in the final phases of the scheme.
At present, these works are scheduled to commence November and are expected to last about five nights. A diversion route will be put in place.
The works are funded by developers, Taylor Wimpey and Bloor, as part of the planning conditions.
WCC transport spokeswoman Coun Jennifer Warren said: “The works will enable safe access to vehicles into the new housing developments and are essential. What we can control, to an extent, is the effect it will have on traffic so we chose the traffic management option that will best allow the swiftest possible completion of the works.
“We appreciate that this will cause some journeys to be delayed but we ask motorists to bear with us and to be patient while the works are ongoing.”
