Residents and visitors may wish to allow extra time for their journeys or find alternative
routes during this time. Advance warning of the possible delays will be advertised on signs
on local roads and the M42. Solihull Council, Birmingham Airport, the NEC and Jaguar
Land Rover as well as other local businesses and organisations will also be informing staff
and customers so that they can plan their journeys and help reduce congestion

Cabinet Member for Transport and Highways, Councillor Ted Richards said: "Once completed,
the new A45 will include a dedicated public transport lane and will create jobs and bring
economic benefits to the area through improved accessibility for companies such as the NEC,
the Station and the Airport. We have worked hard to ensure that this phase of construction
creates as little disruption as possible by carrying it out during the summer holidays and
Jaguar Land Rover shut down, and would ask people to help reduce congestion by planning
their journeys and allowing for extra travel time"

Once the work is complete the existing A45 dual carriageway next to the airport will close.
Some further off peak lane closures will then be required to finish the project
Birmingham City Council has been commissioned to deliver the scheme on behalf of Solihull
Council. Birmingham City Council is also part funding the scheme along with Centro, the
Department for Business Innovation and Skills and Birmingham Airport
