A46 Coventry Junctions - Walsgrave Statutory Consultation - October to December 2023

Closes 22 Dec 2023

Opened 25 Oct 2023

Overview

The Coventry junctions (Walsgrave) scheme is part of National Highways’ commitment to improve the A46 ‘Trans-Midlands Trade Corridor’ between the M5 and the Humber Ports. 

The Coventry junctions scheme involves the upgrade of two at-grade junctions (Binley and Walsgrave) to provide relief from traffic congestion and to improve journey times by increasing the capacity on the A46 between the M6 and the M40. This will benefit both the strategic and local traffic needs and support future growth forecasts from Coventry City Council.

Walsgrave junction is the last remaining roundabout east of Coventry and north of Tollbar End junction that is at-grade, and as such it is a pinch point for traffic. The Tollbar End junction and M6 Smart Motorway improvements have increased the pressure on Binley and Walsgrave junctions.

This scheme is categorised as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) under the Planning Act 2008. As such, we’re required to make an application for a Development Consent Order (DCO) to obtain the equivalent of planning permission to construct the scheme. For more information about the process, visit the Planning Inspectorate’s website.

You can find all of our consultation documents at the bottom of this page, and watch a fly through animation of our proposed design below.
