In 2010, a short local [[bypass (road)|bypass]] was opened; it was the first part of the Rugby Western Relief Road. It runs from the [[A428 road|A428]] (Lawford Road), along the edge of the built-up area to the [[A4071 road|A4071]] (road from Rugby through [[Bilton, Warwickshire|Bilton]] and [[Cawston, Warwickshire|Cawston]]), a little west of Cawston; it takes through heavy traffic off suburban housing roads such as Addison Road. On 10 September 2010, the final part of Rugby's Western Relief Road was opened. The road runs from Potsford Dam near Cawston, through the Lawford Road and ending at Newbold Road, near the Avon Valley School. The initial estimated cost was projected at £36.6&nbsp;million, while the final figure was in excess of £60&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/final_60_5_million_bill_for_rugby_western_relief_road_1_1993538|title=Final £60.5 million bill for Rugby Western Relief Road|date=15 December 2010|work=Rugby Advertiser|access-date=12 January 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101219125416/http://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/news/local/final_60_5_million_bill_for_rugby_western_relief_road_1_1993538|archive-date=19 December 2010|url-status=live}}</ref>
