At the main crossroads by the Kings Head (i.e. where the 9, 126 etc meet the Outer Circle)

Last I heard they were due to start yesterday for 7 months

There's a couple of signs and a few cones around but nothing to speak of as yet. It says 28 weeks from 10/02/14. I think they're filling in the subway, replacing the traffic lights and putting pedestrian crossings in. I'm sure they'll find one or two other things to mess with too......

Does that mean Hagley Road West or Lordswood Road/Anderson Road will be closed?

The road won't be closed fully, but over the course of the works there will be lane closures, which will cause the disruption.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

HC2 was running 10 mins late this morning - a sign the works have started, perhaps?

Yes, they've started now. Today and yesterday there has been a lane closed on the side heading out of Birmingham, starting just before the lights at Bearwood and going up to the underpass at Quinton. I wasn't out on Tuesday but on Monday it was just by the Toby Carvery that had a lane blocked off.
