What we are doing
The new railway will pass over the M42 on a twin box structure near Birmingham Business Park and the NEC.
This new structure, measuring 300m length by 25m width will cover around 130m of the M42 and will be built in position whilst maintaining three lanes of traffic flowing on the M42.
To prepare for this construction activity we will need to install new safety barriers to protect road users and our workforce. To minimise disruption this work will be done at night and in several phases.
