What we are doing
BBV have been significantly reconfiguring the junction of the A446 Stonebridge Road and A452 Chester Road near Birmingham Business Park to facilitate the construction of a bridge that will take the new railway over the M42. This summer we plan to close the motorway for a weekend to remove an existing bridge over the motorway. Before doing so, we need to prepare the bridge ready for demolition to minimise the disruption in the summer period.
To do this work safely BBV will need to close the southbound carriageway of the M42 between Junction 9 and junction 6 for three nights, from 9pm to 5am on 23, 24 and 25 June. Southbound traffic will be diverted on to the A446 and A45 to join the M42 at Junction6. M6 traffic wishing to join the M42 south will be directed to junction 4 of the M42 to follow the same diversion.
