These are the roadworks drivers should be aware of when travelling in and out of the city



Roadworks can be a pain for motorists whether the works are on a busy main road, a carriageway or a country round.

Whether you are travelling into the city or out of town, roadworks can add to your journey time with the build-up of traffic, which isn't ideal if you are planning a day trip or staycation. This can cause frustration for commuters travelling to and from work, and even parents on the school runs in the rush hour traffic.

Coventry has ongoing roadworks from the Binley cycleway to carriageway resurfacing works which is causing major disruption across the city.

The Butts Radial Bypass (correct name) is also closed to pedestrians in BOTH directions.

I had to take a bus into town even though it was only one stop. With hindsight I should have taken the bus home again as the alternative was a long detour via Queens Road/Butts Road (proper). All of the shortcuts are fenced off.
