Temporary weekend closure on a short section of the B4438 from Friday 26 March to Monday 29 March 2021

We are remodelling and improving 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.

As part of this programme, we will install a temporary, weekend road closure on a short section of the B4438 from 8pm on Friday 26 March, to 5am on Monday 29 March.

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 drivers during the weekend closure. If work progresses faster than expected, we will reopen the B4438 earlier if possible.
