Warwickshire County Council is pleased to update residents on the ongoing progress of the A439 Warwick Road improvement scheme in Stratford-upon-Avon.
This important project aims to significantly reduce the number of collisions and create a safer, more accessible environment for all road users and pedestrians.
Cllr Jan Matecki, Warwickshire County Council Portfolio Holder for Transport and Planning, said: "We're pleased with the continued progress on the A439 scheme. The recent completion of the Gabion walls and significant progress on the footway are important milestones. These improvements will create a safer and more user-friendly environment for pedestrians."
Cllr Tim Sinclair, Local Member for Stratford North, added: "I know there has been some disruption caused by the roadworks, and I want to thank residents and businesses for their patience. However, the project remains on schedule and will conclude soon. The various improvements that are being made here will be of benefit to everyone who uses this important route."
