Drivers in and around Rugby should gear up for potential delays as National Highways has announced more than a dozen road closures over the next fortnight. According to the latest update, these closures are expected to cause moderate to slight delays, ranging from 10 to 30 minutes. It’s important for motorists to stay informed and plan their routes accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.
The current road closures that are anticipated to continue this week include the M1 northbound and southbound from junction 20 to junction 21, and A46 both directions from Binley roundabout to M6 junction two. These closures are due to communication works and major scheme works, and are expected to lead to slight and moderate delays, respectively.
In addition, National Highways has scheduled 13 more closures that will commence over the next two weeks. These closures include lane and carriageway closures for various works such as horticulture, verge works on behalf of BT, barrier repairs, litter clearance, maintenance works, resurfacing works, and more.
It’s important to note that National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, and thus, closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
Motorists are advised to stay updated on these road closures and plan their journeys accordingly to minimize any potential disruptions. As always, safety should be the top priority, and drivers are encouraged to adhere to all traffic regulations and signs while navigating through these closures.
In conclusion, while these road closures may cause some inconvenience for drivers in Rugby and the surrounding areas, they are necessary for essential maintenance works to ensure the safety and efficiency of the road network. By staying informed and planning ahead, motorists can navigate through these closures with minimal impact on their daily travels.
