There will be upcoming maintenance work on the M40 and M42.

National Highways will be carrying out essential maintenance work to the safety barriers on the M40 between Junction 15 and the M42 Junction 3a interchange. They will also work on the M42 between junction 3a and junction 3.

They’ll work overnight from 28 April 2025, between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday. The work is expected to complete by Autumn 2025.

The majority of the work will be carried out under lane closures.

During closures, they will install fully signed diversions to the next junction and back.
