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.

To ensure the safety of the road users and our workforce, we will install overnight closures of the eastbound and westbound carriageways on the M42/M6 link road from 9pm each night and re-opening at 5am each morning. See below a breakdown of these overnight closures from January to December 2025.
