bmJV, working on behalf of National Highways, are restarting work on the M40/M42 Interchange, progressing towards the upgrade of the central reservation which will begin this autumn. Until then, they are carrying out a range of enabling works including vegetation clearance, various surveys, drainage, surfacing and vehicle barrier works and the installation of speed cameras.

To deliver this work safely and minimise disruption, they will temporarily close some lanes on the carriageway.

Where possible, work will take place at night time when the roads are at their quietest. To keep their workforce and motorists safe, they will close lanes in 4-kilometre (2.4 miles) sections. Signage will remain in place to inform and remind motorists of all upcoming road closures.

Schedule of closures until 21 December 2022 will be as follows:
