Nightly closures are set to take place at the A42 junction where the new Jaguar Land Rover complex is being built at Mercia Park.

They will take place between June 1-13 between 9pm at 6am, with the affected roads opening again during the day.

Road works will involve closing the Western section of the junction and the overnight closure of the Junction 11 A42/M42 on/off northbound slip roads, B5493 junction; A444 north junction.

Mercia Park officials say: "Our appointed contractor, Winvic Construction, will be carrying out a programme of overnight improvement works to the gyratory system at Junction 11, M42.

"This will include the installation of new traffic signals, localised widening, and resurfacing of the carriageway

and slip roads.

"We'll also be making enhancements for pedestrian and cycle access at the J11 roundabout, including the introduction of tactile paving for vulnerable users.

"To carry out this work safely, full night-time closures of the slip roads will be required from 16 May 2021 for a period of up to four weeks, which will be taking place in two phases.

"All of these works will take place at night only (between the hours of 21:00 – 06:00) and diversion routes will be clearly signposted.

"Please note some diversions on local roads may be in place from 20:00.

"All of the roads affected will be fully re-opened every day at the end of each shift.

"Details about the work and the necessary temporary diversion routes have been agreed with Highways England and local authority highways teams, and important stakeholders including the emergency services have been notified ahead of work starting.

"Information about our highways programme is available on our project website. Thank you for your patience

during these essential works."
