Drivers in Lichfield are being warned of road closures as preparatory work for the new HS2 line continues.

The A38 southbound will be shut overnight at Streethay on 6th and 7th June.

A spokesperson for contractor Balfour Beatty said:

> “During this phase of work we will be installing approximately 135 metres of pedestrian fencing, diverting utility services to prepare for future works and undertaking localised vegetation clearance between the A38 southbound carriageway and slip road at Streethay.”

The overnight closures will run from 9pm to 5am on both nights.

A diversion route will operate along Wood End Lane, the A515, the A51, Eastern Avenue and Cappers Lane.
