Barnt Green road closure

Post by laurence_cooley » 14 Jan 2017 19:53

Just to let everyone know in case it's useful for club run planning, that the road under the railway bridge on Barnt Green Road is now closed until early March: https://roadworks.org/?tmi=1153025.

Thanks Laurence, useful to know, I often go that way on a Wednesday evening.

Cheers, Laurence. I was indeed planning to go that way tomorrow (perhaps your post was prompted by having noticed that). I notice it says 'Footway closure' as well, so presumably it's a total closure, as opposed to a get-off-and-walk closure?

Yes, it was fully fenced off by the looks of things this morning, so I don't think you'd get through.

Thanks for the info, Laurence. Very useful under the circumstances. I'll make sure that Roger Green knows as well. (Although, Roger being Roger, he probably already knows... and can suggest from memory several alternative routes to his inappropriately dubbed 'pilots'.)

Yep Roger has it covered and can instruct pilots on innumerable hilly routes over the Lickeys!!! It also interrupts his dog walking.

I read in the local paper that, after complaints from schools, pedestrian access had been restored. I wouldn't bank on it though.

Are you still passing through Tardebigge, George?
