Take the long way home

There are some irate motorists in the village; a 200 yard section of Warwick Road (B4086) has been closed for repair and resurfacing. Unfortunately this is right by the industrial estate, so if lorries need to get from one end of the roadworks to the other they need to go 2 miles up the B4086 to the crossroads, turn right up the Fosse Way (B4455) for about 5 miles, turn right down the B4100 to Gaydon (about 3 miles), then turn right again past Chadshunt to get back to Kineton. About 12 or 13 miles in all.

Depending on how much work is needed on the old bridge, this could go on for 18 months.
