Birmingham's road network is set face more disruption when gas mains are upgraded in the north of the city.
Six weeks of work are due to start on August 29 as engineers from Cadent begin a £65 million programme to renew pipes across the West Midlands.
Ageing iron pipes will be replaced with plastic ones in A34 Birchfield Road and A4040 Aston Lane.
They are expected to last for at least 80 years.
The project will be split into four phases with the first step finishing on Saturday October 14 to allow the Birmingham Marathon to take place the following day.
A temporary lane closure will be in place in Birchfield Road between the junctions of Aldridge Road and the island on Birchfield Road.
The second phase is due to start in Aston Lane on October 16 and finish on December 10. Phases three and four will start in early January.
This latest news follows in the city centre.
