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.
We wrote to you previously regarding some upcoming works; however, these were slightly delayed due to some emergency works on the network. As part of the Aston Church Road closure works, we will need to close a section of A47 Heartlands Parkway on Thursday 14 August from 8.00pm to 6.00am. We also need to carry out a series of lane closures on A47 Heartlands Parkway between Saltley roundabout and Star City for approximately four months from Friday 15 August. See maps on overleaf for details.
