Tarmac completes safe dismantling of Perry Barr flyover The dismantling of the Perry Barr flyover in north Birmingham has successfully been completed by Tarmac, marking a major milestone in Phase 2 of the A34 Perry Barr highways improvement scheme. With well over a year in the planning, the 50-year-old structure was safely removed in just a single weekend (February 5-8) to make way for an improved road layout that will incorporate a new dual carriageway, cycle paths and improved public transport services. The highways scheme forms part of a £500m+ regeneration project to transform Perry Barr and surrounding areas. Working alongside specialist subcontractor S Evans & Sons Demolition, principal contractor, Tarmac employed seven excavators to remove the flyover – four of which were among the largest machines of their type currently being used on the UK road network.
