People will be able to find out more on the latest phase of works on a major road scheme in Lichfield at an information session.
The £17.5million Lichfield Southern Bypass scheme will connect the A5127 Birmingham Road with the A5206 London Road.
The present section involves building an underpass beneath the Cross City Line.
During Christmas week, work will take place to install a new rail bridge which will allow the construction of the underpass underneath.
The work will begin at midnight on Christmas Eve and continue until 11pm on 28th December.
Staffordshire County Council’s head of highways James Bailey said:
“Construction of the final section of the Lichfield Southern Bypass is a major engineering project which includes taking the road under the railway line.
“This has involved a lot of careful planning and has been scheduled to take place at Christmas when we can take possession of the railway line.”

Details about this phase of the works will be available at drop-in session between 1pm and 8pm on 18th December in a cabin on the western side of the site, which can be accessed off the Falkland Road/Birmingham Road roundabout.
