Sandwell Road to be closed for ‘water remedial works’

The Borough Council has issued a temporary vehicle ban order on part of Booth Street, Smethwick, which will be closed from Monday 24 June.

The road will be closed from the junction with Anne Road to the railway bridge near Downing Street, with access maintained for frontages where safety allows.

A diversion route will be in place via Cornwall Road, Downing Street, Wattville Road, Holyhead Road and vice versa.

The maximum duration of the works is 18 months, however, the work is expected to be completed by July 5.

The work will be carried out by Severn Trent Water.
