What we are doing
As part of our works in the Interchange Station Area we will be constructing the Pool Wood Embankment to carry the HS2 trainline and an underbridge for the Coleshill Heath Road.
The following design updates have been made to these works and this will have an impact on Heath Park.
- The Pool Wood Embankment will now be higher to create more clearance, meaning there will be no need to lower Coleshill Heath Road.
- There will be a retaining wall used on the western side of the Pool Wood Embankment between Coleshill Heath Road Underbridge and the M6 Motorway South Viaduct.
Originally it had been envisaged that our construction compound would cover a larger area of Heath Park, which would have resulted in the temporary loss of both football pitches. However, working in collaboration with Solihull Council this was reviewed, and an agreement has been reached to reduce the area occupied, minimising impact on the park and enabling one of the two football pitches to remain for community use.
