What we are doing
As part of our ongoing construction work on the M42/M6 Link Road Viaducts, we will be extending the existing long-term traffic
management measures on the eastbound carriageways of the M42/M6 Link Road.
On the eastbound carriageway, the hard shoulder will remain closed from the M6 southbound at Junction 4A to the M42 (both northbound and southbound). A temporary 50mph speed limit will also remain in place for the duration of these works.
To ensure the safety of the road users and our workforce, the long-term traffic management will be in place from 1 June 2025 until 31 December 2027.
Update: The traffic management on Friday 28 November will be rescheduled for Monday 8 December
HS2 is undergoing a comprehensive reset to ensure it can be built efficiently and for the lowest reasonable cost. This work is being carried out in stages and will be completed in 2026. We will provide you with updates on the reset and what this means for our plans to build the railway in your area.
