Birmingham's Snow Hill Queensway Closed for Crane Lift

0:00On March 14th, a major road in Birmingham City Center, Snow Hill Queensway is shut down all weekend for a large crane lift. The closure started at 7 a.m. today, March 14th, and runs until 7 p.m. on Mothering Sunday. The affected stretch lies between St. Chath's Queensway and Colmore's Circus Queensway, with clear diversion routes posted for drivers. West Midlands Roads has warned travelers to expect delays, urging everyone to follow the signs and plan alternate paths through the busy area. This work ties back to a huge development approved last year, a 48-story tower at 2 Snow Hill Plaza that's reshaping the skyline. Crews will keep at it through the weekend, so if you're heading that way, check updates and stay safe on the D-tours.
