Notice of overnight closure and lane closure on A452 Chester Road

What we are doing

A 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 turn off. To install this safely we will need to close lane one of the A452 for 13 weeks from Monday 16 September until Friday 13 December.

The closure will be in place all day, every day during this period. Access to Toby Carvery and Park Farm will be maintained.

To isolate our work area, we will install a temporary safety barrier. This will necessitate an overnight closure of the Northbound A452 in this area. The road will close on Monday 16 September at 9pm and reopen at 5am on Tuesday 17 September.

This will be repeated to remove the safety barrier at 9pm on Friday 13 December, reopening on Saturday 14 December.

A signed diversion will be in place.

Important – Packington Lane
Our team will be utilising the overnight closure on 16 September to undertake necessary vegetation clearance work. This will require the closure of the Packington Lane slip road on to the northbound A452 including the underpass. Residents of Little Packington will be required to travel south on the A452 to Stonebridge Island. A signed diversion will be in place.
