News on HS2 in Solihull

During 2020, we will build four new highways bridges in the area that surrounds the future HS2 Interchange Station. All four bridges will be fully complete in early 2021. In the future, these bridges will connect the current road network to new routes that we will create over the next two years.

The first of these new bridges will span the M42, and then the A446. To develop the A446 bridge, we need to carry out surveys on the A446. The results of these surveys will help us plan our bridge construction by telling us the condition of the land and the location of nearby utilities.

To carry out this work safely, we’ll temporarily close the A446 northbound and southbound from Monday 13 July for 10 working days. Our working hours will be 8pm to 6am, but our contractors may be on site up to an hour before and after those times to set up and close down the site.

A signed diversion route will be in place for the road closures.
