High Speed 2 (HS2) works
HS2, or High Speed Two, is a major infrastructure project in the UK aimed at creating a high-speed rail network connecting London and the North. It is designed to improve connectivity, reduce travel times, and boost economic growth in the regions it serves.
The ongoing HS2 construction has necessitated substantial works near the M6toll, including the development of viaducts and other structures to carry the railway over the road network. In the Midlands, the HS2 Phase One route spans 90km, crossing the M42/M6toll at two points between Junctions 7a and 9 of the M42.
To ensure the safe construction of these structures, traffic management measures have been implemented. These include permanent speed restrictions and narrowed lanes through M42 Junction 7a to Junction 9, temporary nighttime lane and road closures and diversions by Balfour Beatty Vinci in this area. However, these overnight closures are temporary and designed to minimise impact on our customers.
Please note that these changes are part of the HS2 construction efforts and are not decisions made by us. The M6toll remains open for business as usual and continues to be your most reliable option for traveling through the region, offering a stress-free alternative to the roadworks. For even greater convenience, consider a breeze account, which simplifies payment and makes your journey even smoother.
