Delays 'likely' as roadworks pop up next to Coventry's railway station

They will continue until February 1

A road bordering Coventry's Railway Station will be closed for more than two weeks so pipes can be laid to heat the city's new water park.

Eaton Road - where the Friargate development stands - will be closed at its junction with A429 Warwick Road until February 1.

The council website says delays are "likely".

The closure will allow pipes to be laid for the Coventry Heatline project.

The project already sees the council running underground pipes from the Whitley incinerator to the city centre to heat buildings including the Council House and the cathedral.

Heatline is a low carbon source of heating and uses household rubbish rather than gases.

The water park site at the old Christchurch House in the city centre is being connected to the Heatline scheme.

The Wave is due to open this spring.
