Fans attending Saturday’s game between Coventry City and Leeds United at the Coventry Building Society Arena are advised that there will be a road closure post-match.
The A444 Jimmy Hill Way will be closed for a period post-match to enable safe exit of supporters after the match.
A crowd of around 30,000 is expected at the match.
The road closure will be installed ahead of the final whistle (circa 4:30pm) to ensure the safe egress of pedestrian traffic from the Coventry Building Society Arena – there will be no impact on pre-match travel.
This post-match closure is installed for the safety of all and once it is deemed safe to do so, the closure will be lifted.
Vehicles in Car Park C will not be held back but will only be allowed to exit right towards Coventry City Centre and should then follow the diversion route put in place if heading towards the M6.
Once the closure is lifted, Car Parks A and D will be released first to ensure minimal disruption.
The closure is in place from A444 Holbrook Way to the M6 Junction 3, with exit only allowed from Car Park C and Arena Shopping Park Southbound towards Coventry City Centre.
Supporters leaving the Arena are still urged to use the correct crossing areas, however there will not be traffic on the road while the road closure is in place.
Road closures have been successfully in place for a number of concerts at the Arena, plus our home game against Birmingham City earlier this season, and the Arena will work to ensure that this one is also successful and safe.
