East and West Midlands LED roadside lighting upgrades

We’ll be upgrading the current lighting to LED’s on the M42/M5 southbound link road. The new LED lighting will be more energy efficient and require less maintenance in the future.

To carry out our work safely, we'll have full closures of the M42 southbound to M5 southbound link road, from 19 February 2024 to 3 April 2024, on weeknights from 8pm to 6am. During these times, there will also be lane closures on the M42 northbound, from the M5 link road to M42 junction 1.

During these closures, the following diversion route will be in place.

Throughout this work there will be access for emergency vehicles.

We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.

Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
