What we are doing
In early 2023 we installed the Marston Box bridge across the M42 motorway. This is the bridge that will carry the HS2 line over the M42 motorway between junction 9 (Dunton Interchange) and junction 10 (Tamworth Interchange).
The work we will be doing
We need to undertake works to assess and install parapets on the bridge. These works include:
• Surveys of the bridge and drainage system.
• Installing monitoring equipment.
• Installing parapets / safety barriers on the bridge.
• Completing maintenance on the safety barriers.
When we will close the M42 Motorway
We are working closely with National Highways to plan and complete these works. To complete these works safely and efficiently, there will be a temporary full closure of both the M42 southbound and northbound, between junctions 9 and 10.
We will close the M42 motorway, in both directions:
• Full weekend closure of the M42 motorway between junctions 9 to 10 from 9pm on 7 July to 5am on 10 July 2023.
A clearly signed diversion route will be in place over this period with advance signage in place to help inform motorists of the closure.
