Roadworks for next week as the Godiva Festival is about to start

This week marks the long-awaited return of the Godiva Festival, which celebrates its 25th anniversary. This means many celebrants will be traveling to the War Memorial Park and drivers should be aware of roadworks in place in Coventry to avoid traffic congestion.

It will be a busy weekend with many people traveling from many areas, so it is vital to ensure advanced travel plans are in place for those visiting Coventry. A lot of road works are taking place in the city, from drainage works, road improvements, new bridges and structures, as well as fixing the many potholes.

Drivers should allow extra time for their journeys this week, particularly around the city center for the Godiva Festival and those using the UK’s motorway networks. Check out our guide below of the city’s roadworks to watch out for this week,
