Next phase of work on £282m motorway relief road scheme to start

The next phase of work on a £282 million motorway relief road scheme aimed at easing congestion at one of the West Midlands' busiest junctions starts this month.

Construction will begin on new slip roads at what will become junction 5a of the M42 south east of Solihull.

It is the latest phase of work around the notorious junction six of the motorway which is known as a traffic hotspot as it serves Birmingham Airport, the NEC campus, Resorts World Arena and National Motorcycle Museum and also connects to the A45 for Coventry city centre. It is also close to the planned HS2 Interchange station.
