What we are doing

BBV have been monitoring a low risk defect on the M42 near our work site. As a result of heavy rainfall, this defect has deteriorated and could become a safety critical risk with next few days. Following discussion with National Highways we plan to implement urgent lane closures between Junction 6 and Junction 7 of the M42 to conduct a preventative carriageway repair. This will allow us to properly plan the work rather than it falling at a time out of our control.

We will close lane one and two northbound of the M42 between Junction 6 and Junction 7 at 9pm on Thursday 3 October and reopen the lanes at 5am on Friday 4 October. Lane three will remain open for the duration of our work.
