What we are doing
UPDATE
We previously advised that between 20 May and 24 May there would be overnight closures on part of the northbound A452 and on the northbound slip road these closures are likely to continue until 31 May. Full details below.
BBV have been significantly reconfiguring the junction of the A446 Stonebridge Road and A452 Chester Road near Birmingham Business Park to facilitate the construction of a bridge that will take the new railway over the M42. As this work comes near to completion, we will be undertaking a series of finishing works that will include tree planting landscaping, new signage, new street furniture, permanent footpaths and other improvements to the public realm. This work can be largely completed without impacting the flow of traffic however some work will require us to close part of the road. To avoid unnecessary disruption this will either be done under lane closure or at night or weekend and in manageable phases.
When will this work take place
2 April -19 April Between 2 April and 19 April there will be full overnight closures on the southbound slip road of the A446 known as Biddle’s Loop. The road will be closed from 8pm until 6am. A full diversion will be in place.
5 April – 8 April Between 5 April and 8 April there will be a full weekend closure of the A446 northbound slip road of Biddle’s Loop from 8pm on 5 April until 6am on 8 April. A full diversion will be in place.
20 May -31 May Between 20 May and 31 May there will be full overnight closures on part of the northbound A452 in front of Melbicks Garden Centre and the A446 northbound slip road of Biddle’s Loop from 8pm until 6am. A full diversion will be in place. Please note on 30 May we will not close the road until 11:30pm to allow easier departure for concert goers leaving the NEC.
17 May – 14 June From 17 May until 7 June, one lane of the A452 southbound slip road will be closed.
