What we are doing
As we build the new high speed railway line in Lichfield, we need to complete some piling works to construct the new Rykneld Street Overbridge.
To build the bridge, we need to close the A38 Southbound overnight from the Hillard’s Cross junction to Cappers Lane junction from Monday 24 February to Friday 28 February 2025, and Monday 3 March to Wednesday 5 March 2025 9.00pm to 5.00am. These are earliest dates subject to change.
To keep traffic moving in the area drivers will be diverted along Wood End Lane to A515 Tewnals Lane, along A51 Stafford Road to A5192 Eastern Avenue to rejoin the A38 carriageway. Access to businesses and properties will be maintained.
We understand that travel times may be impacted due to the diversion routes and would advise road users to plan their journeys in advance. Where possible we would advise road users to consider the timings of their journeys to avoid peak traffic hours as well as considering whether they need to drive or if they could use an alternative method of travel.
