M5 overnight closures southbound

Upcoming overnight maintenance work along the M5 will include grass cutting, sweeping and hazardous tree removal. Work will take place from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 July 2024 between 9pm and 6am when traffic levels are lower.

For safety reasons this will entail a full closure of the M5 southbound from junction 4a to junction 6. During closures, a fully signed diversion route will be in place, see the plan on the attached document.

National Highways will make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. They always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes. Please accept their apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
