A46 Coventry Junctions Upgrade - Walsgrave Junction - Public Consultation - January 2022

Overview

Alongside our ongoing work to upgrade Binley junction, we’ve been assessing various options to upgrade the junction at Walsgrave. Our work showed that only one option was viable and could deliver the required improvements at the junction.

Between January 2022 and February 2022, we held a public consultation on this viable option, known as Option 11. We also shared detail on the discounted options and explained why these were not viable.

The feedback received during the consultation showed support for improvements at Walsgrave junction and support for Option 11 and we are therefore taking this scheme to the next stage of design development.

You can find out more about the preferred route in our brochure.

This consultation has now closed. Please visit the scheme webpage for further information and updates on the scheme.

We’re holding a public consultation on our plans to improve the A46 Walsgrave junction.

We’d like to hear what you think, so please share your ideas, concerns and local knowledge with us.

The consultation will run from Tuesday 11 January to Monday 14 February 2022.

Why your opinion matters

The feedback and comments you provide will help us to understand the local area better as well as the scheme benefits and any potential impacts.
