REMINDER
⛔ A40 lane closure change to take place tomorrow⛔
The traffic management change will take place overnight on Thursday 28 March. The 40mph speed limit will remain in place through the roadworks as will the temporary concrete barrier, which stops debris falling into the path of traffic.
In tandem with progressing work to adjust the traffic management, engineering specialists have been analysing the damage caused by the rockfall and the stability of the hillside to identify our options for carrying out repairs.
National Highways: West Midlands are working with relevant authorities to agree the best methods of managing traffic during the debris clearance and repair work, and the best times to carry this out.
They say their team will continue to make every effort to reduce the impact of the rockfall on the local community and travelling public, and they appreciate your continued patience while they deliver this essential safety work.
Nat Highways have created a project webpage which they will update regularly to provide updates on progress. They have also created an email address which people can email to sign up for to have updates emailed to them.

A rockfall in early 2024 raised concern about the long-term stability of the hillside and caused damage to the carriageway.
