We’ll be carrying surveys as part of our plans to upgrade the current lighting to LEDs on the A46 between M5 Junction 9 and A46 Tollbar End roundabout. The new LED lighting will be more energy efficient and require less maintenance in the future.
When will this work take place?
We’ll work overnight, between 9pm and 6am, from Wednesday 6 August 2025 to Monday 8 September 2025, Monday to Friday.
To carry out our work safely, we’ll work under a combination of full closures, lane closures and temporary traffic lights.
