HS2 enabling works, Welsh Road area, June 2021 (2) This is the staggered junction of Welsh Road, to right and left (out of shot), Offchurch Lane ahead continuing as Long Itchington Road behind the camera. Originally there was a railway bridge here with a two-way junction at either end. In time, the bridge was removed and the railway cutting filled in to form the present junction. It is fast, unpredictable and risky: remodelling as part of the HS2 works should make it safer.

Improved junction of Welsh Road and Fosse Way The view is northwest from Welsh Road; Fosse Way runs almost out of sight across the photo. HS2 will cross Fosse Way a short distance to the north (right). The opportunity has been taken to remodel two if not three dangerous junctions on these fast local roads. Ahead was formerly a frightening and frustrating staggered crossroads.
