What we are doing
Throughout 2023 we constructed the piers and abutments for the M42/M6 link road viaducts. These are two 158m long composite viaducts that will carry the HS2 line over the M42/M6 motorway link road. Over five weekends during 2024 the two viaducts were successfully positioned over both link roads. Most of the preparation work was completed off-line to minimise disruption, where possible, on the live road network.
The road closures will be in place to access the central reservation to cast part of the deck of the structure.
The overnight closures of the westbound carriageway will be for five consecutive nights from Monday 21 October to
Saturday 26 October and an additional night on Friday 8 November. The closures will be in place from 9pm to 5am each night.
The closure will be in place from the M42 southbound at junction 8 to the M6 northbound at junction 4a. This work is subject to consent with National Highways.
