News on HS2 in Solihull

During 2020, we will build four new highway bridges in the area that surrounds the future HS2 Interchange Station. All four bridges will be 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. To date, we have installed the bridge abutments, and we are now constructing the bridge deck alongside the M42 on HS2 land. To complete the bridge, we need to deliver further materials to our works site.

To carry out this work, we’ll temporarily close the A446 southbound on Sunday 5 July and Sunday 12 July . Our working hours will be 8:00 pm to 6:00 am, 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.
