flag The A38(M) Aston Expressway in Birmingham remains closed in both directions on January 19, 2026, due to overhead gantry issues, disrupting traffic from key junctions including Spaghetti Junction and Park Circus. flag The closure, which began around 11:30 a.m., led to major diversions via Lichfield Road and affected multiple National Express bus routes. flag While the southbound carriageway reopened briefly by 2 p.m., northbound lanes stayed closed. flag This follows a similar closure earlier in the month caused by a technical fault, with no official reopening timeline provided. flag Authorities are assessing the safety of the gantry system, and travelers are urged to avoid the area.
