Aston Church Road Overbridge

About

Aston Church Road Overbridge is a road bridge in Birmingham, England.

The existing Aston Court Overbridge is not long enough to allow High Speed 2 to pass underneath. As part of the project, it will be demolished and replaced with a new structure.

The initial design for the bridge was revealed to the public in 2021. A revised design was released in November 2022 with a wider walkway and altered lighting. The bridge was given planning permission in September 2023.

Preparatory works began in 2022. The bridge was constructed in advance. On 14 August 2024 it was moved into place.
