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. This requires significant work to the A45 Coventry Road and its adjoining slip road known as ‘East Way’. Before these works can take place, several utilities need to be moved and diverted to make sure that our works do not impact the supply in the local area. To carry out these works safely we will need to partially close ‘East Way’ (which joins onto the A45 Coventry Road eastbound carriageway) overnight each night from 24 February until 1 March and for a further five nights from 17 March until 22 March 2025. ‘East Way’ closures • Monday 24 February from 8pm until 6am • Tuesday 25 February from 8pm until 6am • Wednesday 26 February from 10.30pm until 6am • Thursday 27 February from 10.30pm until 6am • Friday 28 February from 10.30pm until 6am • Monday 17 March from 8pm until 6am • Tuesday 18 March from 8pm until 6am • Wednesday 19 March from 8pm until 6am • Thursday 20 March from 8pm until 6am • Friday 21 March from 11.30pm until 6am To ease congestion during major events at the NEC, see times above.
