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 7 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.
To ensure the safety of our workforce, we will be installing an overnight road closure on the M42/M6 Link Road for seven nights, from 9pm each night and re-opening at 5am each morning. See below a breakdown of these overnight closures:
- Monday 29 September
- Tuesday 30 September
- Wednesday 01 October
- Thursday 02 October
- Friday 03 October
