A46 Strategic Link Road Consultation
Overview
These are exciting times for Coventry and Warwickshire, with an economy which has continuing potential for growth, top-class Universities and expanding communities all generating demand for travel across the area. In order to be able to help meet the needs of people wanting to travel, we want to share our plans for a new transport corridor between the A46 Stoneleigh Junction, University of Warwick and Westwood Heath in Coventry.
Plans are still in the early stages, with indicative scheme proposals identified. We want to share these proposals with you, to get your views on your transport priorities for this area. We are consulting on three main options, which are described on this consultation page, along with the some of the key benefits and issues associated with each option.
The feedback that you provide will help steer the project to ensure that we work towards a beneficial but balanced scheme and that the resulting proposal reflects the views of the local community and wider stakeholders (recognising that there will inevitably be a wide range of individual views on the transport issues in this area).
The new transport corridor is part of the strategic long-term plans for sustainable growth in this region. These plans include wider cycle networks for Warwickshire and Coventry and a new railway station and interchange with the potential to link road, rail, cycling and very light rail (VLR).
Please take the time to read the consultation document and the accompanying Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) as they outline the general principles for the new transport corridor and indicative scheme proposals, which may help you to understand how these proposals could affect you.
Why your views matter
This consultation provides information on the work that has been done to date and outlines the core options considered for the new transport corridor along with the potential impacts and benefits. Feedback from this consultation will help inform and develop these indicative scheme proposals, by allowing us to take account of the issues and concerns raised by residents, businesses and others who have an interest in the area and the transport network.
The online survey will ask you questions regarding the three main options, along with specific questions regarding local connections and changes.
