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 summer 2025 we have undertaken some utilities works, creating new access points into our compounds, and carried out the installation of safety barriers. This work is nearly complete; our workforce will now progress the remaining utility connection and remedial works within the area.
To enable us to carry out our activities safely the following traffic management will be in place.
Overnight full carriageway closures:
A45 eastbound, East Way and the East Way off slip towards Stonebridge Island each weeknight from 9pm Wednesday 27 August to 6am on Wednesday 10 September 2025.
A45 Coventry Road eastbound single lane closures
Each weekday a single lane closure will remain in place from 6am on Thursday 28 August to 9pm on Tuesday 9 September 2025.
