RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT WORK CONTINUES IN SALTERS LANE
- Region & Route:
Work continues in Tamworth to widen the West Coast Mainline from two tracks to four as part of the Trent Valley Four Tracking Project (TV4). As part of this, work to the embankment alongside Salters Lane will continue to the end of April which will mean that the traffic management at Salters Lane will continue until the end of May. Salters Lane will be closed to traffic coming from the junction with Upper Gungate but will remain open to traffic heading to Upper Gungate. There will be a sign-posted diversionary route back to Salters Lane via Upper Gungate, Comberford Road, Thackeray Drive and Masefield Drive. Every effort will be made to minimise the time the road will need to be closed.

About Network Rail
We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.
Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
