What we are doing
The new railway will travel over the M6 and M42 loop on a series of bridges and viaduct structures. To protect road users from our construction activities we need to extend the temporary safety barriers on the Loop section of Junction 7a of the M42 that connects the northbound carriageway with the southbound carriageway of the M6.
To do this safely we will need to close this section for one night. Traffic will be directed north to Junction 8 of the M42 before returning down the southbound carriageway to exit at Junction 7 as normal. The temporary safety barrier will remain in the hard shoulder to protect the works behind it.
