A46 Coventry junctions upgrade
The A46 is a strategic road link between the East and West Midlands, connecting Coventry and Warwickshire to the motorway network. Traffic congestion has led to slower speeds, longer trip times and more queueing for drivers. By upgrading the A46 we’ll unlock this congestion, improve journey reliability and support economic growth across the West Midlands.
We’re investing in the A46 at Coventry by upgrading two junctions to:
- improve safety
- increase road capacity
- relieve traffic congestion
- smooth the flow of traffic
- support the growing economy
The upgrade is being delivered in two phases.
Binley junction
Work at the Binley junction started in March 2020 and is due for completion in 2022.
Walsgrave junction
Following your feedback at our consultation earlier this year we have identified a preferred route at Walsgrave junction.

The Secretary of State for Transport has given permission for the A46 Coventry junctions upgrade at Binley Woods to proceed with the upgrade work set to start in the coming months.
The plans for the Binley junction will see the A46 dual carriageway become a flyover that will separate local traffic from using the A46 itself. This will mean that drivers staying on the A46 will not need to slow down for the roundabout, while also improving traffic flows for local businesses nearby. The design will also include improvements to the existing footways for pedestrians and cycle paths.
We’re developing options for the Walsgrave junction and held a consultation on these plans between January and February 2022. When developing options, we need to ensure that the design meets the needs of road users and the community, whilst providing value for money.
The aims of the scheme are to:
- improve safety
- support the growing economy
- support the smooth flow of traffic
- increase capacity
- relieve congestion
