What we are doing
We will be carrying out Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys in locations along Saltley Viaduct B4114 from Wednesday 29 September to Thursday 7 October (excluding weekends). Dates are subject to the progress of the surveys programme.
GPR surveys are non-intrusive, they are completed using a machine which transmits an electromagnetic pulse into the ground. These pulses reflect off features in the ground, allowing us to identify the location and depth of buried utility services.
To be able to carry out these inspections safely and effectively, we will need to put in place a road closure with diversion route on Saltley Viaduct B4114. We will also need to close the Saltley Viaduct B4114 roundabout and approach junctions on Adderley Road, Alum Rock Road and Washwood Heath Road from Monday 4 October to Thursday 7 October. All road closures will be in place from 9.00pm to 5.00am. Access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
