A435 road

The A435 is a main road in England running between Birmingham and the A46 near Evesham. The road passes through or near several towns and villages including Redditch, Studley, Alcester, and Bidford-on-Avon. It serves as an important north-south route through Worcestershire and Warwickshire, connecting these areas to Birmingham.

The road is primarily a single carriageway for much of its length, with some sections of dual carriageway near Redditch. It experiences significant traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours, due to commuter traffic and its use as a bypass route for other congested roads. Concerns about road safety and the impact on local communities have led to ongoing discussions about potential improvements and upgrades to the A435. These discussions often involve balancing the need for improved transport links with the desire to preserve the character of the rural areas through which the road passes.
