What we are doing
The new high-speed railway will pass under the A45 Coventry Road as it approaches the new interchange station being built in Solihull. To enable HS2 to pass under the A45, a new overbridge will be constructed which will carry the eastbound and westbound carriageways and its two adjoining slip roads known as East Way and Service Road.
The A45 Coventry Road overbridge will be constructed in phases. The first phase of construction was completed in May 2025. During summer 2025 we have carried utilities works within the area, this work is nearly complete. Our workforce will now progress with chamber works on the A45 Birmingham Road eastbound on-slip, near Stonebridge Island.
To enable us to carry out these works safely the following traffic management will be installed.

A45 Birmingham Road eastbound overnight single lane closure
