M54 roadworks: Further delays as closures continue
Drivers face disruption on the M54 with further overnight closures planned due to urgent repair works.
People travelling eastbound are being warned of the disruption as Highways England engineers work to fix damaged concrete slabs between junction 3 for Cosford and junction 2 for Coven Heath.
Highways England first closed the road last week for repairs and further inspection showed more maintenance work is needed.
"We need to get onto the road to carry out repairs but we don't want to close the M54 down completely as this will cause real inconvenience for drivers," Ian Askew, asset development team leader at Highways England, said.
Highways England is closing the hard shoulder and lane one between junctions 3 and 2 to allow its workers to fix the concrete.
The result is that only one lane will be available during the day.
To reduce congestion during the morning peak between 7am and 9am, Highways England will temporarily close the eastbound entry slip road at junction 3.
The overnight closures started last night at 8pm and will occur each night between 8pm and 6am until the weekend.
