M6 junction repairs 'progressing well'
Overnight repairs to a major M6 junction in Birmingham are progressing well, highways bosses have said.
The 50-year-old Gravelly Hill interchange, which carries more than 200,000 vehicles every day, is being repaired.
The scheme is costing £300,000, and work includes resurfacing of the road and repairs to 10 joints which are designed to allow movement of the structure.
The overnight work started on January 17 and is set to run until next month.
Teams are carrying out the vital repairs at night when the road is quieter, to help keep disruption to a minimum.
Highways England's national highways programme delivery manager, Jess Kenny, said: “We’re making good progress on our repair scheme at the interchange and we have planned this work methodically to ensure we can keep disruption to a minimum.
"We are resurfacing the road and carrying out other repairs to joints - the work is an essential part of keeping the road safe for the tens of thousands of vehicles that use it every day."
