What we are doing
In August 2025, we successfully launched the Lawley Middleway Bridge, a key part of the new railway that will carry High Speed trains over Lawley Middleway and into Curzon Street Station in the centre of Birmingham.
We are now beginning the removal of the temporary substructure used to provide stability while the bridge deck was manoeuvred across the carriageway. The works will involve dismantling the substructure, sliding beams, and associated supports, with all loads progressively transferred onto the permanent bearings. This marks the completion of the launch phase and the bridge’s transition to its permanent structural arrangement.
