What we are doing
As we build the new high speed railway line in Birmingham, we need to rebuild the existing overbridge on Aston Church Road. We need to do this work because the existing bridge does not currently have enough headroom for the new HS2 trains to pass underneath.
To rebuild the bridge, we currently have Aston Church Road closed to all vehicles.
As part of the ongoing Aston Church Road closure works, we will also need to close a section of A47 Heartlands Parkway on Saturday 8 November from 8.00pm to 6.00am.
HS2 is undergoing a comprehensive reset to ensure it can be built efficiently and for the lowest reasonable cost. This work is being carried out in stages and will be completed in 2026. We will provide you with updates on the reset and what this means for our plans to build the railway in your area.
