What we are doing
We previously advised that the temporary safety barriers closing the hard shoulder will be in place until the end of October. These barriers will now remain unplace until 31 January when this section of the M42 can be reorientated into narrow lanes.
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. In the summer we removed the south bridge over the M42 that forms Northway Island. We will then be working alongside the carriageway while we prepare for the box structure.
