MAINTENANCE work on the M5 will see lengthy closures in both directions at the Bromsgrove junction over the next couple of months.
National Highways is carrying out safety works between junctions 2 and 3, including resurfacing and renewing the road markings, to provide a clearer and safer carriageway for road users.
There will be full overnight closures in both directions on separate occasions, with southbound journeys affected between junctions 3 and 4 from September 1 to October 14.
Northbound journeys between the same junctions will also be affected overnight from October 15 to December 11. The northbound closure will not be in effect between December 1 and December 5.
A further overnight southbound closure between junction 3 and 4 will take place on December 12. Closures will take place on weeknights between 8pm and 6am for works to be carried out.
Some trees will also be removed as part of the scheme. The trees are in small sections along the side of the northbound carriageway and removal will only take place where it is essential to maintain safety.
To ensure the safety of road workers and road users, the road will be closed while the work takes place and it will be carried out in the following phases to minimise disruption.
During the closures, fully signed diversions will be in place.
