We want to improve connectivity between the city centre and the area by Coventry Airport, where the proposed new Gigafactory will be located. These improvements will make it easier and safer for people to cycle and walk and we will also encourage through traffic to use the larger A roads rather than local, residential roads.

Improvements are being delivered in phases. Work at the junction of Abbey Road and London Road is now complete with a new signalised junction that includes a new access into the future housing development, and safety improvements to the junction.

We are now getting ready to start work to create a segregated cycleway along London Road, between Abbey Road and the Asda roundabout. The next phase will be improvements to the roundabout and we hope to back out to consult on our ideas after the school summer holidays.

This first section of the cycleway will be 500m long and will be fully separated from the traffic with a kerb. The cycleway will be lined so that it can be used in both directions.

To install the cycleway, we will need to make some changes to the road layout. We will use the existing inside lane as it leaves the roundabout all the way to Abbey Road. The pavement will remain where it is without any changes.

Future phases of the work will include completing the cycleway from Tollbar along London Road and into Humber Road where it will connect into Binley Cycleway which then provides a route into the city centre.

We want to know what you think and whether you think there is anything we should know before we start work. Please tell us by completing the feedback form below by Sunday 4 August 2024.
