New Camp Hill Line train stations mean road closures in Birmingham until October – here’s the plan

Transport for West Midlands said parts of Pineapple Road and Cartland Road will be fully closed until Sunday, August 31 with no through traffic from Pershore Road and Vicarage Road.

Cartland Road will reopen on September 1 but Pineapple Road will remain closed by the Carpenter Road junction until Tuesday, October 21.

Signed diversion routes are in place asking traffic to divert away from this area and use alternative routes.

The works are part of the Camp Hill Line project which will see three new stations built on Pineapple Road, Moseley and Kings Heath.

The project will see passenger rail services introduced on the line for the first time since the Second World War, and work remains on track to be completed for the rescheduled date of the end of this year.

Bus passengers are being advised the NXWM service 27 will be diverted along Dad’s Lane, Dogpool Lane and Pershore Road.

As stops on Pineapple and Cartland Road are suspended people are asked to use the following stops:

• Travelling towards Solihull: Pershore Road, Umberslade Road; Pershore Road, Warwards Lane, Dad’s Lane and Shutlock Lane
• Travelling towards Rubery: Dad’s Lane, Shutlock Lane, Hazelwell Street, and Umberslade Road

During the second phase of works from September 1, the Number 27 bus will continue along Vicarage Road, pass the junction with Avenue Road and until the junction with Cartland Road to continue normal line of route to Rubery and the reverse to Solihull.

As stops along Pineapple Road, Dad’s Laneand Avenue Road will not be served, the closest stops will be:

• Travelling towards Rubery: Vicarage Road, Abbots Road; Cartland Road and Pineapple Road
• Travelling towards Solihull: Cartlands Road, Lyndworth Road, Vicarage Road and Abbots Road.

Passengers are being asked to consider using service 76 if travelling to Solihull from Dad’s Lane and Avenue Road.
