What we are doing
In late June there was a road traffic accident on the Saltley Viaduct, following that we have been closely monitoring the structure. Unfortunately we have safety concerns in relation to the structure and through close working with Birmingham City Council and Network Rail, we have agreed that the road needs to be closed. We are already developing proposals as to how the viaduct can be made safe and the road re-opened.
We are also in the process of amending our work programme in the surrounding area to minimise the impact this closure will have and we will continue to look at opportunities to do so.
We will keep you informed about progress with its re-opening.
