WORK to replace road signs is going to result in temporary lane closures along the A46 until the end of January.

The Highways Agency is to replace signs at 13 locations along the road between Twyford and Salford Priors in Warwickshire, from Monday December 15.

The work will stop for Christmas on Tuesday December 23 and resume on Friday January 2 until January 30. It will be carried out in four phases, from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

Phase one involves daytime lane closures on the A46 between Salford Priors and Twyford roundabout. Phase two will require lane closures at Salford Priors Roundabout and temporary traffic lights on Station Road. Phases 3A and 3B will see lane closures on the Twyford Roundabout and the services splitter island.

Highways Agency project manager Purnima Kaul said: “Replacing the signs will bring them up to current standards for text height, impact and reflectivity and lead to improved safety for road users.

“We advise road users to allow extra time for their journeys, especially as the work will be carried out in the day.”

Advance road signs will advise road users how long each phase will last and when the next is due to start.
