Members please be aware that there will be major traffic disruption around the Coventry / Warwick area from 8pm on Friday 11th April until 6am on Thursday 1st May. The A46 between Coventry and Kenilworth will be closed in both directions at this time. This information has recently been released. As well as the closure, traffic in the surrounding area is also likely to be hugely disrupted.
Those attending the Easter Rally at Greenhills will be impacted, but so too will anyone using this major route to attend other rallies.
Although there will be signed diversions, huge disruption is anticipated by those who live in the area.
One major bottleneck would be when travelling from the north on the M1. It would be best to avoid the M69 as this changes to become the A46 and will take you in to the middle of the chaos. It would be worthwhile taking the M42/M40 around the NEC.
Anyone who uses the A46 in Coventry should plan an alternative route, and allow plenty of additional time. The A46 closure will affect all traffic moving from the M1/M6/M69 to join the M40 at Warwick. There are no easy local alternatives.
