Birmingham Gridlock: Crane Lift Operation Causes Major Road Closures

0:00On April 4th, heads up, Birmingham City Center is facing some serious gridlock from a massive crane lift operation kicking off right now. West Midlands Road shut down Snow Hill Queensway between St. Chad's Queensway and Cole Moore Circus Queensway, and it'll stay closed all day today, April 4th, plus tomorrow. That closure is no small thing, it's right in the heart of the action. Messing with your daily commute big time, bus riders, you're feeling the heat too. Moore for West Midlands says a bunch of national express and diamond services, like the 7, 9, 12, 13, 16, 52, and others are getting rerouted around the blockage. The version sends some buses looping through Cole Moore Row, Weamen Street, or Great Charles Street Queensway, to dodge the mess, so check your app before. You head out. Plan ahead if you're rolling through there folks. Stick to alternate paths and stay smooth on those detours to the cranes done its thing
