Dear Customer
We’re writing to provide an update regarding our ongoing repairs to the carriageway on the M5 at junction 8.
We’re pleased to confirm our work at this location is near to completion. We thank you for your patience whilst we carry out this essential maintenance work.
Before we lift restrictions along the M5, we need to carry out some further work along the southbound carriageway. During work, our traffic management will be installed as follows:
We’ll work overnight, between 8pm and 6am, from 1 July to 19 July 2024, Monday to Friday.
To maintain safety, we’ll install a full carriageway closure of the M5 southbound between junction 7 and junction 8. We’ll also install a closure of the M50 eastbound between M50 junction 1 and M5 junction 8.
During closures, fully signed diversions will be in place.
Diversion: Please see attached image
Please plan ahead and allow additional time for your journey.
We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme; however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.
