Scheduled overnight closures and diversion routes
See below details of scheduled overnight closures and diversion routes due to essential maintenance works:
Access from the M6toll northbound onto the M6 from Junction T8 will be closed overnight (21:00 to 06:00) from the 7th to the 20th of October (Monday to Friday) by a National Highways Contractor for carriageway resurfacing works. A clearly signed diversion route will be provided along A460 to M6J11 then A460 and Lodge Lane to Bridgetown and A5 to M6 Junction 12.
The diversion route will lengthen your journey by 4 miles and approximately 10 minutes in free flow traffic.
26th – 30th October & 2nd – 6th November (21:00-05:00) M42 Southbound after M6toll. Access to the M42 at junction 7a from the M6toll will be closed overnight due to scheduled HS2 works.
For the M6toll Southbound traffic wanting to use the M42, a clearly signed diversion route will be installed diverting traffic from J7a onto M6 Southbound to J3, then Northbound to J4, A446 Southbound then A45 to M42 J6. An additional diversion advising traffic off at M6toll junction T2, along the A446 to J6 of the M42 will also be in place.
The J7a diversion adds an extra 19 miles / 23 minutes in free flow conditions. The advisory diversion route at T2 will lengthen your journey by 1.3 miles and approximately 5 minutes in free flow conditions.
