Notice of A47 Saltley roundabout and Nechells Place utility surveys with lane closures

What we are doing

We will be carrying out utility trial hole surveys on the A47 roundabout and Nechells Place starting on 1 July with an expected completion date of 19 July 2024.
To complete the utility trial hole inspections, we will use a vacuum excavator, which uses compressed air to loosen or agitate the ground. The loosened material is then removed using the vacuum on the machine creating a hole. At times we will also use hand digging tools to excavate the trial holes. Once the surveys are carried out, we will backfill and reinstate all the trial holes.
These surveys will help us to plan where utility diversions will be required as we continue to construct the railway in Birmingham.

To enable us to carry out these works safely and effectively, we will need to put in place temporary traffic management. We will need to close one lane northbound on the A47 Saltley Viaduct roundabout, and also close one lane at Nechells Place.
