What we are doing
We are remodelling and improving sections of the existing road network in the area and creating new routes on HS2 land. These road improvements will ensure that when the future HS2 Interchange Station is operational, the local road network is fit for purpose. Upon completion, a new T-junction will replace Northway Island. A new ‘longabout’ is already in operation outside the Holiday Inn Express NEC, on the way to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC).
We started the creation of the new T-junction in April 2021. To enable us to continue to connect parts of the existing road network, to the new routes we create, a series of weekend road closures will be installed in 2021 on and around Northway Island.
To carry out this programme safely, we will install the following temporary traffic measures on and around Northway Island from Friday 3 December to Monday 6 December:
- We’ll close Birmingham Business Park’s entrance and exit off Northway Island from 8pm on Friday 3 December through to 4am on Monday 6 December. Throughout the closure, access to the park will be maintained off the B4438 via Progress Way.
- We’ll close short sections of the B4438 and A452 northbound from 8pm on Friday 3 December through to 12noon on Saturday 4 December, and then from 8pm on Saturday 4 December through to 12noon on Sunday 5 December.
- On Saturday 4 December and Sunday 5 December, from 12noon to 8pm each day, we’ll install alternating single lane closures along short sections of the B4438 and A452 northbound.
A signed diversion route will be in place for road users during the road closures.
