Birmingham Airport urges passengers to allow extra time ahead of road closures this week
During these hours, temporary road closures will be in force on the approach roads surrounding the airport, and signed diversions will be in place to guide motorists.
Drivers heading to Birmingham Airport (BHX) next week are being urged to allow extra time for their journey, as overnight road closures will take place around the airport on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 November 2025 to allow for essential resurfacing work.
According to Birmingham Airport, the closures will run from 8pm on Tuesday 11 November until around 4am on Wednesday 12 November, with the works divided into two phases.
- Phase 1: 8pm – 1.30am
- Phase 2: 1.30am – 3.30am
Passengers travelling by car are advised to follow diversion signs and to leave additional travel time. Those using Car Park 5 should access it via the Drop Off car park entrance, then proceed through to park in Car Park 5. Airport officials have reminded drivers not to park in the Drop Off area, which is complimentary for up to 10 minutes only.
All other airport car parks will remain open throughout the works.
For bus passengers, services will continue to operate but will follow the diversions in place, meaning longer journey times are likely.
In a statement, Birmingham Airport apologised for any inconvenience caused, saying the resurfacing work is “essential to maintaining safe and efficient access routes” for passengers and vehicles.
Travellers departing or arriving overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday are encouraged to check travel updates and plan ahead to avoid delays.
