What we are doing

new railway station for high-speed services is being built in the area between the M42 and the A452 Chester Road, adjacent to the NEC and Birmingham Business Park. An existing water main is located in this area and it is vital that this is safely diverted, so that our works do not interrupt the supply. The newly diverted water main will be located in the verge of the northbound carriageway of the A452 Chester Road between Stonebridge Island and the Little Packington exit.

To complete these works safely, we will need to close lane one of the A452 for 13 weeks from Monday 16 September to Friday 13 December 2024. The closure will be in place all day, every day during this period. Access to Toby Carvery and Park Farm will be maintained.

To create a safe working area, we will first install a temporary safety barrier. This will be installed during an overnight closure of the A452 northbound carriageway on Monday 16 September between 9pm to 5am. We will remove the barrier using a similar overnight closure on Friday 13 December between 9pm to 5am. A signed diversion will be in place.
Once the safety barrier is installed, lane one of the A452 northbound carriageway will be closed between Tuesday 17 September and Friday 13 December 2024.
