Motorists are being warned of delays due to a road closure in Whittington.

Darnford Lane will be shut from 20th February to 24th February as part of preparatory HS2 works.

A spokesperson for contractor Balfour Beatty VINCI said:

> “To enable the construction of the new railway we will need to divert utilities along Darnford Lane.  
>  
> “These works will require sections of the carriageway to be excavated to enable the utilities to cross from the north to south side of Darnford Lane.  
>  
> “Due to the width of the existing carriageway these works will require a temporary closure. We will also be undertaking some vegetation clearance works to create a safe working area.”  
>  
> Balfour Beatty VINCI spokesperson

A diversion route will be in option during the works using Lichfield Road, Tamworth Road and Ryknild Street.
