What we are doing
HS2 Notice of temporary overnight lane closures on the M42 motorway between junction 6 and 7a (northbound) and junction 7 and 6 (southbound) – near the NEC
The work we will be doing
The new railway will pass over the M42 motorway on a box structure near the Birmingham Business Park and the NEC. The box structure, measuring 300 metres in length and 25 metres wide, will cover around 130 metres of the M42 motorway and is being constructed while the motorway is in operation.
As we progress with our construction activities, we will install temporary overnight lane closures on both northbound and southbound carriageways, to undertake some maintenance works that are not safe to be done around live traffic.
