News on HS2 in Birmingham

Notification of Temporary traffic management on Andover Street

Early works for HS2 are carried out by LM – a joint venture between Laing O’Rourke and J. Murphy & Sons.

LM is planning to carry out utilities surveys on Andover Street across the weekend of 15th and 16th December. Details of the works are included below:

The trial hole will be located on Andover Street, close to the junction with Fazeley Street

Traffic management is needed and will consist of a road closure on Andover Street, meaning there will be no access via Fazeley Street

We plan to set up traffic management from 7am on Saturday 15th December and this may remain in place until 6am on Monday 17th December , although we will reopen the road sooner if we can

Traffic management will remain in place during this time period, while core working hours will be 8am-6pm . Staff may be on site up to an hour before and an hour after these times to set up and clear down

Access to all businesses on Andover Street will be maintained via Banbury Street

Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times

We will place appropriate diversion signage up to direct road users and pedestrians

There will be some noise created by the works, but we will keep disruption to a minimum

We expect to carry out more utilities surveys in roads and footpaths across Birmingham in early 2019 and we will share more information on this when our plans are finalised.
