LM (Laing O’Rourke and J. Murphy & Sons) working on behalf of HS2, will carry out temporary, overnight lane closures along the M42 southbound in October 2021.

When the future HS2 Interchange Station is operational, four new highways bridges will connect the current road network to new routes being created. The first of these new highways bridges was safely installed in August 2020 over the M42. This year, LM will carry out various activities to fully reinstate the motorway’s assets such as streetlighting. 

To carry out this work safely, LM will install temporary, overnight lane closures along sections of the M42 southbound, from 10pm to 5am, between Monday 4 October and Wednesday 6 October. Contractors may be on site up to an hour before and after these times to set up and close down the site.
