News on HS2 in Solihull

During 2020, we are remodelling and expanding sections of the existing road network in the 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 work includes vegetation and tree removal in preparation for construction.

To carry out roadside vegetation clearance safely, we’ll install a temporary lane closure on the A45 Coventry Road slip road leading to the Bickenhill Household Waste and Recycling Centre (HWRC). This lane closure will be in place from Tuesday 1 December until Tuesday 15 December between 9.30am until 3.30pm. Our contractors may be on site for up to an hour before and after those times to set up and secure the site.

Access to Bickenhill HWRC and other local businesses will always be maintained.

Please see the attached works notification for more information and map.
