What we are doing
Extended until Summer 2025.
As we progress our works on the A38 at Streethay we will continue to manage the flow of traffic using narrow lanes. We installed the narrow lanes in October 2022 and these will remain in place until Summer 2025.
Extending the temporary A38 southbound slip road closure at Streethay
In August 2022 we communicated that we would close the A38 southbound slip road to undertake works on the southbound slip road overbridge. As a result of a programme review and additional utility and design requirements we will need to extend the temporary closure of the A38 southbound slip road closure, at Streethay, until Spring 2024.
We will share further updates, in early 2024, on the temporary diversion of the A38 and closure of the northbound slip road.
Temporary re-opening of Fradley and Streethay 6 Public Right of Way (PRoW)
In April 2022 we communicated that we had commenced work on Streethay Cutting. To ensure the safety of the public we closed Public Right of Way Fradley and Streethay 6 for the duration of our construction period.
Over this period, we received feedback from the local community that this footpath enabled walkers to access Streethay, the canal and Whittington. Local residents asked us to review the closure of the footpath, as our works progressed, to assess if it could be diverted and temporarily re-opened in advance of the new Streethay Footpath Overbridge being constructed. We have undertaken a review following the Government announcement in March 2023 and have temporarily paused works on Streethay Cutting. This will enable us to create a temporary path through our site to enable the footpath to re-open. We will share an update once the new diverted footpath is created and safe to open.
