What we are doing
As preparation works for HS2 in the Saltley and Alum Rock area start to progress, there are several road and footpath closures programmed to take place over the coming months.
Aston Church Road and Warren Road
From Monday 6 March, for approximately three weeks (Monday -Thursdays only), Aston Church Road will be closed between Arley Road and Washwood Heath Road from 9.30am – 3.30pm. A small section of footpath along Aston Church Road and Warren Road will also be closed during these times to allow for utility trial holes. Utility trial holes help us to plan where utility diversions will be required as we construct the railway in Birmingham.
Saltley Viaduct
We previously informed you know that utility diversion works are currently taking place overnight along Saltley Viaduct. These works require a full closure of Saltley Viaduct and take place from 10pm – 6am Monday to Friday.
Crawford Street
From Monday 13 March, for approximately four weeks, we will be closing the pedestrian footpath along a section of Crawford Street. This is to enable the site team to safely remove and replace the fencing along Crawford Street as well as carry out some environmental works. Works will be taking place from 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am – 1pm on Saturdays.
Access to businesses and properties will be maintained throughout our works.
