Saltley Viaduct and Aston Church Road Overbridge latest designs: Let us know your views

Saltley Viaduct and Aston Church Road Overbridge are significant structures two miles north-east of Birmingham City Centre which cross other major transport links. Before we begin construction, we are seeking your views on some specific details of their design.

The latest design for the Saltley Viaduct and Aston Church Road Overbridge in Birmingham has been revealed and to help us form our final design we're inviting you to have your say on:

  • Parapet perforation
  • Walkway surface colours
  • Lighting tones
  • The existing viaduct and overbridge carry roads over the National Rail tracks, the River Rea and the Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal. For the HS2 line to pass through, additional space is required underneath them and they will need to be entirely rebuilt.

    Sign up for our online events to find out more

    Due to COVID-19 we are not currently able to hold face-to-face public events, but we are holding online events to share information about the design and construction of the Saltley Viaduct and Aston Church Road Overbridge on:

  • Thursday 4 March, 18:30 – 20:00
  • Please view our information booklet on Saltley Viaduct and Aston Church Road Overbridge before completing the online survey . The survey will be available to complete until Monday 15 March at 23:59.

    Please also visit our dedicated Saltley Viaduct and Aston Church Road Overbridge web page for more information.
