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 Autumn 2025 we have carried utilities works along a section of the A45 Coventry Road, this work is nearly complete.
Our planned works were scheduled to finish at 6.00am on Thursday, 2 October 2025. We will return to this site in mid-October to safely complete essential utilities activities on the eastbound on-slip.
Thank you for your patience while we carry out these important improvements.
To enable us to carry out these works safely the following traffic management will be installed.
