What we are doing
EKFB are building a new road bridge and highway to allow the A423 to pass over the HS2 railway line, south of Southam.As part of this design scheme we will be replacing the northbound layby between Ladbroke and Southam on the A423.As we continue the construction of the new highway we will be closing
