M42 and M6 Toll Closures This Weekend | Birmingham News

Drivers heading through the West Midlands this weekend brace for major road closures on the M42 and M6 Toll due to HS2 construction, impacting travel from Friday night, September 18th, until Monday morning, September 21st. Key sections of the M42 will be shut in both directions between junctions 6 and 9, affecting connections to the M6 and M6 Toll. The M6 Toll’s southbound lanes from junction T2 are also closed as crews install beams for the M42 Motorway Box and work on the Water Orton Viaducts. HS2 says diversions are clearly marked and safety is their top priority, while also announcing a “comprehensive reset” to improve efficiency and cost. The project aims to finish by 2026 — so plan ahead, check the HS2 website for updates, and stay alert to changes before hitting the road.
