Overnight resurfacing will be carried out on High Street, Alcester Road and Valentine Road in Kings Heath from Wednesday, August 13 to Saturday, August 16 between 8pm and 6am.<\/p>\n

Birmingham Council<\/a> said the works were due to take place in September but had been brought forward to ensure they happen during the summer holidays.<\/p>\n

The scheme is part of the overall development of three new stations on the Camp Hill Line<\/a> in south Birmingham with Moseley and Pineapple Road also currently being built.<\/p>\n

The project will see passenger rail services introduced on the line for the first time since the Second World War, remains on track to be completed for the rescheduled date of the end of this year.<\/p>\n

In the Birmingham Connected Bulletin, the council said: \u201cTo help get everything in place for the forthcoming stations, and ensure smooth access for passengers, essential road works are planned at different points across the summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main road works in Kings Heath are now complete. From Wednesday 13 to Saturday 16 of August, between 8pm and 6am, overnight resurfacing will take place on the High Street, Alcester Road and Valentine Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis resurfacing was originally planned for September, but it has been brought forward to happen during the summer holidays, when traffic will be lighter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that these works may cause some temporary inconvenience, and we thank you for your patience and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding works in Moseley and Pineapple Road, they added: \u201cAdditional works are planned for these stations later in the summer, and Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) is currently finalising these details with key partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

In July last year, TfWM announced the Camp Hill scheme, alongside a raft of other major projects in the region, was to be delayed by a year in the wake of \u00a3121 million budget pressures as a result of soaring costs.<\/p>\n

This was the second delay to hit the project after it was originally due to be scheduled for completion in 2023.<\/p>\n

The news prompted West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker to call for a review of all current and planned projects, saying he had concerns over the funding, delivery and delay while also accusing his predecessor Andy Street of making \u201cgrand promises\u201d which weren\u2019t being delivered.<\/p>\n

In turn, Mr Street said he was saddened to see party politics being played over the issue, adding he had \u201cbequeathed to the new Mayor billions in devolved transport funding\u201d for the projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Overnight resurfacing will be carried out on High Street, Alcester Road and Valentine Road in Kings Heath from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,8823,379,12,1263,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-321337","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-ldrs","13":"tag-local-hubs","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-transport","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114979386603966966","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
