What we are doing
We are progressing with the construction of Marston Box, which is the bridge that will carry the HS2 line over the M42 motorway between junction 9 (Dunton Interchange) and junction 10 (Tamworth Interchange). The construction of the bridge is being carried out on land adjacent to the motorway before it is moved into position in winter 2022.
We are working closely with National Highways (formerly Highways England) to plan and complete these works. To complete these works safely and efficiently we will close the M42 motorway from:
9pm on Friday 24 December (Christmas Eve) to 9pm on Friday 31 December 2021 (New Year’s Eve).
A clearly signed diversion route will be in place over this period with advance signage in place to help remind motorists of the closure.
Please see the notification for more information, including the timings and the diversion route.
