What about 28?

More than likely turning short at Old Oscott Lane island, by the Co-Op

Brookvale Road must have been closed this afternoon, as the 11A/C (and a lot more traffic and HGVs) in both directions were using Perry Common Road.

They were coming from Brookvale Road from Stockland Green along Streetly Road (the 65 route), then onto Perry Common Road following the 28 route to The Crossways, then I guess back down The Ridgeway along the 7 route. Strange seeing the 11 going that way!

Noticed this morning, the junction of Thomas Street and Park Lane in Aston has "give way" lines, so it would seem the Aston Bridge Road diversions on 65/67/115 are here to stay for the foreseeable future

Is it a mini-roundabout? That was the plan. Yes, several more months of Aston Bridge closure. A lorry carrying a crane or similar was cut up by a car under the flyover. The lorry braked really had to avoid a collision and the vehicle on the back of the lorry lifted off the back into the air and sliced one of the box girders open like a tin opener. This needs replacing, but also the bridge was also due to be strengthened to take the latest heavy HGVs (44t?) It makes sense for both repairs and strengthening to be done at the same time, so this is the reason for the wait. The split of the costs also needs sorting out because obviously the HGVs insurer will only pay for repairs, not strengthening.

Its not a mini-roundabout. There are give way lines in both directions on Park Street, so traffic from Thomas Street have the right of way turning out

Should help us in the peaks on the 65, but I could see a nasty accident happening there with cars travelling along Park Street refusing to give way to buses/other traffic from Thomas Street

[John]

And that lasted as long as only one day! Park Street/Thomas Street junction back to the way it was before now, giving way turning right from Thomas Street  ???
