What we are doing

We are constructing haul roads and site accesses along the route of HS2. Haul roads are temporary roads provided within a working area to allow for the movement of construction materials, construction machinery and/or construction staff around the site.

We are creating a haul road off the A446 Lichfield Road, which will allow us to commence work on Birmingham and Fazeley Canal Viaduct. To maintain the safety of road users we will install a temporary closure of a section of hard shoulder of the M42 motorway near junction 9.

We will close the section of the northbound hard shoulder from Monday 13 March to Friday 24 March 2023 between 9.30am to 3.30pm each day.
