What we are doing
National Highways works
The M42 between junction 6 and 9 (northbound) and junction 9 and 6 (southbound) will be temporarily closed overnight
(weekdays between 29 January to 8 February) and for one weekend from 9 February to 12 February 2024.
Following an assessment of the damage we have taken the decision to demolish the M42 bridge over the weekend beginning on Friday 9 February 2024. To do this safely we will need to close the M42 motorway between junction 6 and junction 9 in both directions from 9pm on Friday 9 February to Monday 12 February 2024.
To enable the demolition of the bridge we will need to carry out preparatory work which will require the closure of the M42 motorway in both directions overnight each weeknight from:
• Monday 29 January to Friday 2 February between 10pm and 5am.
• Monday 5 February to Thursday 8 February between 10pm and 5am.
Please see the notification for more information, including diversions routes.
