What we are doing
The new high-speed railway will pass under the A45 Coventry Road as it approaches the new Interchange Station being built in Solihull. This section of
the A45 is located near Bickenhill, between the Stonebridge roundabout and the M42 motorway junction 6.
To allow us to safely construct the A45 overbridge structure we will first construct a contraflow traffic management system with narrow lanes and install
lane closures to maintain two lanes of traffic flow. We will install the following overnight carriageway closures (subject to consent):
• A45 Coventry Road eastbound from Monday 11 August to Saturday
16 August 2025 between 9pm and 6am each night.
• A45 Coventry Road westbound (extended diversion) on Monday 18
August 2025 from 10pm to 6am.
• A45 Coventry Road westbound (extended diversion contingency if
required) on Tuesday 19 August 2025 from 10pm to 6am.
• A45 Coventry Road westbound (shorter diversion) from Wednesday
20 August to Saturday 23 August 2025 between 9pm and 6am each
night.
• Overnight closures of the eastbound and westbound carriageways on
Tuesday 26 August and Wednesday 27 August 2025 from 9pm to 6am.
Single lane closures in both directions
A single lane closure will remain in place, on both eastbound and westbound carriageways, from 6am on Saturday 23 August 2025 to 6am on Monday 1 December 2025.
