The housing agency aims to shortlist five firms to bid for the Homestead Link Road, which will consist of a 2km long all-traffic single carriageway connecting the A426 (Rugby Road) with the B4429 (Coventry Road).

The road is required to unlock the South West Rugby development, set to deliver 5,000 new homes, primary and secondary schools, a new neighbourhood centre, 35 hectares of employment land and green infrastructure.

Applications need to be submitted by 27 September with the contract start date set for July next year.
