WORK on the HS2 project could delay the reopening of a major Warwickshire road by almost a year.
Councillors in both the Stratford and Warwick districts are demanding answers from HS2 Ltd after it revealed potential revisions to its construction work programme, which would impact the A425 between Leamington and Southam.
The road was originally shut in September 2020 and was due to re-open in June this year but HS2 Ltd and its contractors have informed local authorities that the A425 Southam Road closure could be delayed by almost a year.
