What we are doing

As part of our preparation works for the future construction of the HS2 Interchange Station and railway route we are carrying out roadside landscaping and construction activities along carriageways in the area. To ensure safe access to our work sites to carry out these activities, we will install traffic measures when necessary.

From March to May, we will install:

  • A temporary overnight hard shoulder closure along a short section of the M42 northbound, leading into a lane closure on the M42 J7 and M6 link road, from 10pm on Wednesday 2 March to 6am on Thursday 3 March.
  • A temporary off-peak single lane closure along a short section of the A446 southbound from Tuesday 1 March to Tuesday 31 May, between 9.30am and 3.30pm, Monday to Friday. This lane closure will not be in place every day during this period, but instead will be installed when required by our programme to avoid overburdening the road network.

This schedule is subject to change. We’ll keep you informed of any adjustments.
