Work to resurface the A426 in Rugby is set to get underway in February.

The one point five million pound project will see northbound closures and some weekend closures southbound, running overnight until the end of March.

The start and finish times have been changed after feedback from local businesses and Warwickshire County Council say it's likely that work will be carried out overnight seven days a week between the hours of 19:00 and 05:00.

Cllr Jennifer Warren, portfolio holder for transport and planning at Warwickshire County Council, said: “We are letting people know well in advance of this work actually happening to let them know we are on our way and to allow time for planning.

“It’s been an excellent exercise in working with local businesses and showing flexibility to move timings around to best accommodate them. It’s ongoing but we are working well together to keep disruption to a minimum.”
