Meriden Road Closure: Fillongley Roadworks

Residents and commuters in the Coventry area are advised of a medium-severity disruption on Meriden Road in Fillongley, with lane closures in place from Tuesday, 11 August 2026 at 23:00 until Thursday, 13 August 2026 at 23:00. The works are taking place on Meriden Road, with Warwickshire County Council overseeing the project. The minor works are expected to cause some inconvenience to drivers and local residents.

Motorists are urged to exercise caution and plan their journeys in advance as the disruption may lead to increased congestion on nearby routes. Those travelling through the area are advised to use alternative routes, such as the A452 or A429, to avoid the affected section of Meriden Road. Checking traffic apps and websites regularly for updates is also highly recommended, as traffic conditions may change rapidly.

Warwickshire County Council has scheduled the lane closures to take place over a limited period, minimising the impact on local traffic and residents. However, drivers should be prepared for potential delays and disruptions to their usual routes. The council has assured that the works are necessary to maintain the road's condition and ensure public safety.

During the closure period, access to local businesses and properties on Meriden Road will be maintained, but drivers may experience some delays when approaching the area. Motorists are asked to follow all traffic signs and instructions from site staff, who will be on hand to direct traffic and provide assistance where needed.

In addition to using alternative routes, drivers can also check the Warwickshire County Council website for updates on the roadworks and any changes to traffic conditions. Regular updates will be provided to keep the public informed and minimise the disruption caused by the works.

Motorists are reminded that the works are necessary to maintain the road's condition and ensure public safety. By planning ahead and using alternative routes, drivers can help to reduce congestion and minimise delays.
