The 183-metre viaduct spanning the B4114 will close to both vehicles and pedestrians as part of a major infrastructure project linked to HS2. This ambitious four-stage scheme will see the existing viaduct replaced with a new, larger structure to accommodate HS2 trains running beneath it. The Saltley Viaduct crosses over the Birmingham and Derby rail line, the Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal, and the River Rea, necessitating a complex, phased approach to minimize disruption.
