June 2022

The work continues to be finished in phases. This has been the case throughout the duration of the scheme.

All final surfacing works and road markings on the main A34 highway are complete. There are some small areas on Harrier Way (a slip road off the main A34, leading to the Aldridge Road) still to be done by the end of next week.

In addition to this, the contraflow in operation is to be removed from the underpass at Birchfield Junction on Thursday night (30 June). Whilst some traffic management will remain in place, there will be a significant reduction in the number of cones and barriers in the area, freeing up more of the highway.

Other minor tasks that will then be undertaken include the installation of remaining signs, the final elements of footpath paving, and the replacement of temporary signals with permanent ones.

The overall completion of these finishing touches is scheduled for mid-July.

When travelling within or through the area, continue to plan ahead. View an interactive map of the works and get help planning your journey on the TfWM website.
