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 .

To carry out our continued works safely, single lane closures will remain in place until Monday 31 August on and around Northway Island. Our working hours will be 7am to 6pm, but some traffic measures will remain in place 24-hours. We will work Monday to Friday, however we may extend our works into the weekend if required. Temporary traffic lights will continue to be used intermittently on the A452 throughout this period.

You will still be able to travel along all routes in both directions when single lane closures are in place.

We’ll also temporarily close a short section of the B4438 from 6am on Saturday 22 August, to 6pm on Sunday 23 August. Signed diversion routes will be in place for drivers.

You can view the works notification, including a map, here.
