News on HS2 in Solihull

Early works to construct the new railway, is carried out by a joint venture between Laing O’Rourke and J. Murphy & Sons, known as LM.

Over the coming weeks LM will be working near Hampton in Arden. The work includes vegetation, tree and hedgerow clearance and erecting fencing.

To ensure a safe access to our clearance sites alongside Diddington Lane, we will be introducing and operating temporary traffic lights. These traffic signals will be in place between 09:30 am to 3:30 pm weekdays starting from 3 February 2020 . The traffic signals will be in place for three weeks subject to site and weather conditions.

There will be limited access along the private A45 service road adjacent to Diddington Lane whilst these traffic lights are in operation.

Access to properties and businesses will be maintained throughout these works.
