Through this statement, we will demonstrate that this is a credible and deliverable opportunity with no technical issues.

  • M5 Oldbury Viaduct Traffic Management Study Executive Summary
    M5 Oldbury Viaduct Traffic Management Study Executive Summary Oldbury and Park Street viaducts carry approximately 3km of the elevated sections of the M5 to the west of Birmingham between junctions 1 and 2. Constructed in 1970, it has deteriorated in recent years and has seen increased emergency interventions (55 in 2016). Therefore we need to repair and upgrade sections now in order to prevent bigger challenges and further disruption in the future. By maintaining this key corridor we’re delivering a huge investment that will support economic growth locally and in the wider West Midlands. Once complete, customers will benefit from a safer, more resilient route and enhanced driver experience. Other planned interventions on the strategic network in coming years include HS2, M6 J10 redesign, and on the local network, proposed Birchley island project and M5 junction 1 redesign. Therefore, we have a window of opportunitybetween April 2017 and autumn 2018 to complete this work at M5 Oldbury Viaduct. This section of the M5 motorway is particularly busy, carrying both local and strategic south-west and south-east to north-west traffic, with seasonal peaks. It is a commuter hub with traffic joining with the M6, other roads into and out of the Birmingham hub, and other cities in the region. Our engineers advised that in order to carry out the work safely, the carriageway would have to be treated in sections under traffic management. Four options were progressed to the modelling stage to understand impact and we chose the one that was safest, offered most value for money and most appropriate timeline.
