Kings Heath Lane Closure – 23 March for 7 weeks

Plan ahead if you are travelling to Moseley Exchange over the next couple of months, as work on the Kings Heath railway station development is expected to cause substantial disruption to local traffic.

For seven weeks from 23 March, there will be a lane closure and temporary traffic lights at the junction of Kings Heath High Street and Queensbridge Road.

There will be no access to Valentine Road from this point while these works take place.

Bus routes will not be diverted but journeys on services 1, 35 & 50 routes may take longer.

Valentine Road will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists, so please consider walking and cycling for shorter journeys.

TfWM has provided the following travel advice:

  • Plan ahead
    Journey times will be longer so please allow extra time. 
  • Consider an alternative route
    Avoid travelling in Kings Heath. Instead, use Bristol Road or Pershore Road if travelling from the South, and Stratford Road or Warwick Road if travelling from the East. 
  • Take an earlier bus
    Bus routes will not be altered, but journeys on 1, 35 and 50 bus services may take longer so plan your bus journey and allow more time for travel.
  • Walk or cycle instead
    Think about your options. If you are travelling locally for a short distance, consider walking or cycling to your destination. 
  • Avoid peak times if possible
    Travel at quieter periods if you can, especially 7am–9am and 2pm–4pm to avoid school traffic.
