What we are doing
Updated notice
We previously advised that the temporary safety barriers closing the hard shoulder will be in place until after the bridge has been demolished on 14 August. It is now proposed to keep this in place until completion of new junction at the end of October.
We previously advised of a series of overnight lane closures on the M42 and closures of the southbound slip road at Junction 4 of the M6. We have now simplified our programme of works in this area resulting in fewer overnight closures of the slip road and the reduced frequency of lane closures. This also means that our programme of works in this area will finish six nights earlier on 5 August.
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 box structure (bridge) that will take the new railway over the M42. This summer we plan to remove one of the existing road bridges over the M42 that form Northway Island. Before this demolition work can take place, we need to undertake some preparation work.
17 July – 18 July 2023
A northbound lane closure of the M42will be in place at night between 9pm and 5am to install a safety barrier in the hard shoulder. The hard shoulder will then be closed until 14 August.
18 July -19 July 2023
A southbound lane closure will be in place as well as a link road at Junction 4 of the M6 to the southbound carriageway of the M42, both will be closed between 9pm and 5am while we undertake enabling work. The hard shoulder will then be closed until 14 August.
24 July – 30 July 2023
A Northbound Lane closure of the M42 between Junction 6 and 7 will be in place at night between 9pm and 5am to undertake enabling work.
31 July – 5 August 2023
A lane closure on both sides of the M42 between Junction 6 and 7 will be in place at night between 9pm and 5am. The link road at Junction 4 connecting the northbound carriageway of the M6 to the southbound carriageway of the M42 will be closed between 9pm and 5am while we undertake enabling work.
