Rugby Western Relief Road footpath closure
Rugby residents are being warned of a footpath closure to allow for an essential part of the Rugby Western Relief Road to be completed.
The footpath alongside Parkfield Road between the industrial estate occupied by Metso Minerals, Banner Rail and Network Rail and the footpath which is adjacent to the southern boundary of the Rugby to Coventry railway line, will be closed during the week before Easter and remain closed over the summer.
This closure has always been required to enable the existing carriageway of Parkfield Road to be lowered to achieve satisfactory headroom under the one of the existing railway bridges, and also for it to be strengthened and improved.
Although the formal closure of this length of footpath has been in place for well over a year, the contractor has worked hard to keep it open for as long as possible as it has been popular with walkers and those wishing to view the progress of the road construction.
Alternative routes are available and these are detailed on the footpath closures page of the Rugby Western Relief Road website at http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/rwrr
The footpath will be reopened as soon as possible but until then Warwickshire County Council apologises for any inconvenience the closure may cause.
