Since April 2015, Birmingham City Council, Amey and utility companies have been progressing the advanced utility works on the Cleveland Tower side of Holloway Circus. This has been undertaken in phases to minimise impact on traffic and to suit the requirements of the individual utility companies.
Contractors are now in a position where the works will have a greater impact on traffic, and are likely to increase congestion. Hence, they have delayed undertaking this until during the summer holiday period when traffic flows are lighter.
- Between the 15th and 22nd August works will be undertaken in the footways and traffic separation island on Holloway Head, but will look to maintain current traffic lane provisions, albeit with slightly narrowed lane widths.
- From the 22nd to 26th August (inclusive) both the inbound and outbound carriageways of Holloway Head (between the Holloway Circus roundabout and Ellis Street) will be closed to traffic. Buses will operate to a diversion but will continue to serve all existing stops.
- From the 27th August to the 5th September (inclusive) only the inbound carriageway towards the roundabout will be closed, with the inbound bus diversion also remaining.
Travellers are advised to follow any diversion signs and to allow more time for their journey.
