What we are doing

We will be carrying out works for the preparation of the Chattle Hill box structure and carriageway realignment of the A446 Lichfield Road. The Chattle Hill box will take the HS2 line over the A446.

To complete these works safely we will be installing closures from the junction of Gorsey Lane to the junction with Marsh Lane, including Watton Lane.

Once the preparation works are complete on 28 October, the A446 Lichfield Road will re-open on a new, temporary re-alignment. The temporary re-alignment will be in place for around 18 months.

The temporary re-alignment is to enable the Chattle Hill box structure to be built offline with minimal disruption to road traffic. Once the structure is complete the A446 will be reinstated to its original re-alignment in a future phase of works.

Overnight closures from Tuesday 27 August to Thursday 24 October. The closures will be in place from 8pm each night and will be removed at 5am each morning.

Weekend closure from 8pm on Friday 25 October and re-opening at 5am on Monday 28 October.

UPDATE: An additional weekend closure will be in place from 8pm on Friday 18 October and reopening at 5am on Monday 21 October.
