Temporary closure of Bickenhill HWRC – 24 February – 2 March 2025:
Due to essential works to enable the continued development of the HS2 High-speed rail line, it is necessary to close public access to the Household Waste Recycling Centre at Bickenhill for 7 days.
The site will be closed from Monday 24 February and will re-open on Monday 3 March.
Why is the site closing?
The new HS2 railway will pass under the A45 as it approaches the new interchange station. This requires significant work to the road network and its adjoining slip road known as ‘A45 Service Road’.
During 2024 HS2 has been diverting utilities and carrying out other preparatory work on the A45 service road, to facilitate the new road alignment. The next phase of that work includes the reconfiguration of the access road leading from the A45 Service Road to the Recycling Centre.
To complete this work safely, access to the recycling centre will be closed to traffic for one week, from 6.00am 24 February 2025, to 6.00am 3 March 2025.
We have selected a week when historically site use is low to minimise the impact of the closure on residents.
We thank you for your patience regarding this matter and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
