News on HS2 in Solihull

We are remodelling and expanding sections of the existing road network in the Interchange area , and constructing new routes on HS2 land, which will connect to four new highway bridges. These road improvements will ensure that when the future HS2 Interchange Station is operational, the local road network is fit for purpose.

This is an ongoing programme of works, which commenced in March 2020.

To enable us to connect parts of the existing road network safely and smoothly, to the new routes we create, a series of weekend road closures will be installed in 2020 and 2021 on and around Northway Island. The first of these closures will take place in early December 2020. After completion, road users will begin to travel on a new section of the remodelled road network near the Holiday Inn Express NEC along the B4438.

We’ll temporarily close a short section of the B4438 from 8pm on Friday 4 December, to 5am on Monday 7 December. 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 drivers.

Please see our notification , including a map showing the extent of the closure and the diversion routes, for more information.
