A4540 road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The A4540 is the Inner Ring Road in Birmingham, England, previously known as the Middle Ring Road, or the Middleway. There are proposals to make it a red route.

The A4540 covers the following route: -

Junction with A41

Belgrave Middleway
Belgrave Interchange (junction with A441 followed by A38) Main road passes underneath interchange
Lee Bank Middleway
Islington Row Middleway
Five Ways Island (junction with A456 which passes underneath island. Original plans showed the A4540 as passing under the roundabout but this was later changed, a move which is commonly viewed as a mistake and would have alleviated the heavy congestion at the island.
Ladywood Middleway
Junction with A457
Icknield Street
(Heaton Street, a road which connects the A4540 to Hockley Circus and the junction with the A41)
Boulton Middleway
