What we are doing

UPDATE We previously contacted you to advise that the hard shoulder would be closed until 22 December 2022. This work has taken longer than expected and the slip road will now remain closed until 6 April 2023. We will however remove the traffic management over the Christmas period from Thursday 22 December 2022 until Tuesday 3 January.

The new railway will cross the M6 on an over bridge near junction 4. In order to safely build the southern abutment to this bridge we will need to close the hard shoulder on the slip road that connects the northbound carriageway of the M42 to the northbound carriageway of the M6.

The work will take place from Monday 3 October 2022 until Thursday 6 April 2023. The hard shoulder will be closed 24/7 and our working hours will be 8:00am – 6:00pm Monday to Friday.
