What we are doing
The work scheduled to begin in January 2025 will mark the next phase of the M42/ M6 Link Road viaduct project. Our teams will install the parapets on the East viaduct bridge and remove equipment from the previous phase of construction. The work we will be undertaking involves delivering plant and machinery and extra carriageway cleaning operations. This cleaning programme will be in addition to the daily mitigation measures we have
in place and will ensure that impact from our work to the motorway link is reduced as much as possible.
