News on HS2 in Solihull

During 2020, we will improve and expand sections of the existing road network in the area, and construct 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 on Northway and the B4438 .

Earlier in the month , we had stated that we would be changing this programme from daytime working to overnight working. Following further review of our next phase of activities, these works will not be changing to overnight works, and will continue to be delivered during daytime hours. As traffic movements in the area remain low, the impact of returning to daytime working on road users is likely to also remain low.

To carry out our continued works safely, daytime single lane closures will remain in place throughout September from 9.30am to 3.30pm, but our contractors may be on site up to an hour before and after those times. We will work Monday to Friday, however we may extend our works into the weekend if required. Traffic measures on Northway will remain in place 24-hours and temporary traffic lights will continue to be used intermittently on the A452.

You will still be able to travel along all routes in both directions.
