UPDATE -Notice of overnight closures of the M42 northbound and southbound junction 6 to 9 carriageway, and M42 M6 Link Road

What we are doing

As part of our ongoing construction works on the M42 Water Orton Viaducts, our teams continue to construct the parapets to install the viaducts spanning the motorway. To allow us to complete these works, we will be installing overnight road closures to change the traffic management layout at the Water Orton Viaducts to relocate works into
the central reservation.

There will be a full road closure of the M42 northbound carriageway from junction 6 to 9, the M6 connector road northbound from M6 junction 3a to M42 junction 7 and M6 M42 link road eastbound closure from M6 southbound at junction 4a to M42, each night.

There will also be a full road closure of the M42 southbound carriageway from M42 Junction 9 to 7 and the M6 M42 Link Road westbound closure from M42 junction 8 to M6 Junction 4a, each night.

After these works are complete the carriageway will re-open on narrow lanes, which will remain in place until 2028.

To ensure the safety of our workforce, we will be installing an overnight road closure on the M42 northbound and southbound for five nights, from 9pm each night and re-opening at 5am each morning.
