Temporary, weekend road closure on and around Northway Island from Saturday 9 April to Monday 11 April 2022

What we are doing

PLEASE NOTE – the timings of this closure have now changed from 8pm on Friday 8 April to 6am on Saturday 9 April, with the road re-opening as previously notified at 5am on Monday 11 April.

We are remodelling and improving sections of the existing road network in the area and creating new routes on HS2 land. These road improvements will ensure that when the future HS2 Interchange Station is operational, the local road network is fit for purpose. Upon completion, a new T-junction will replace Northway Island. A new ‘longabout’ is already in operation outside the Holiday Inn Express NEC, on the way to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC).

We started the creation of the new T-junction in April 2021. To enable us to connect parts of the existing road network, to the new routes we have created, a series of weekend road closures have been installed in 2022 on and around Northway Island. We will conclude this programme with a further weekend closure in April 2022.

We recently completed a weekend closure over the weekend of the 1st to the 4th of April.

We will follow this with a temporary, weekend road closure around parts of Northway Island, and along short sections of the B4438 northbound and A452 northbound and southbound from 6am Saturday 9 April through to 5am on Monday 11 April.

A signed diversion route will be in place for road users during the weekend road closure.

Throughout the closure, we will maintain access to all buildings and businesses in the area including Melbicks Garden Centre and Birmingham Business Park.
