Road Closures on the Birmingham Ring Road

The Birmingham Ring Road (A4540) is a dual carriageway encircling Birmingham city centre, completed in phases between the 1950s and 1970s. Known locally as the 'Queensway', it passes through Digbeth, Aston, Newtown, and Ladywood. The ring road is a critical artery for Birmingham traffic and is subject to frequent roadworks due to ongoing regeneration projects in the city centre. Because the route is made up of several numbered roads, this page tracks closures across all of them — A4540, A38(M), A457, A456 and A441, the route runs for about 6 miles and the responsible highway authority is Birmingham City Council. Closures are most disruptive around Queensway Tunnel, Aston Expressway junction, Five Ways and Holloway Circus.

Scope: UK-only records supplied through ClearRoute for Birmingham Ring Road. “Current” is determined from available source event times; planned reports and records without usable event times are identified by their visible schedule details. The site-wide connection/cache status is separate from each record’s source timing.
