What we are doing

Since 2017, we have been remodelling and improving sections of the existing road network in the area and creating new routes on HS2 land. These road improvements will ensure that when the future station is operational, the local road network is fit for purpose. Upon completion, a new T-junction will replace Northway Island. A new longabout is already in operation outside the Holiday Inn Express NEC, on the way to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC).

To complete this stage of these works, we need to revise some of the road markings on the B4438 longabout. This will require a full overnight closure of a number of the roads leading to the longabout, and the longabout itself.

We’ll be installing a temporary overnight closure on 19 March 2023

We will install temporary, overnight closure of a section of the A452 Northbound, the B4438 between Northway Island and the longabout, the longabout itself and a part of Northway Island from 10pm on 19 March to 6am on 20 March (see notification below).

A fully signed diversion will be in place for the duration of the closure, and you will still be able to access all local businesses in the area.

This schedule is subject to change dependant on obtaining the relevant consents and approvals, and site and weather conditions
