National Highways has announced the closures, starting today, as it continues to work around the junction and connecting roads, including work on the A454 Wolverhampton Road westbound to allow Openreach to carry out essential works.

The Openreach works started on March 20 and are running until Friday, May 19, with full closure of the dedicated left turn from the A454 Wolverhampton Road westbound into Tempus Drive.

Diversions during this time will be diverted along the A454 Westbound around the Junction 10 roundabout and back onto the A454 Eastbound, with dedicated traffic lights for the turn onto Tempus Drive.

The other works will see night-time works on the mainline M6 southbound and northbound exit slip roads on Friday night and from Monday, April 17, to Wednesday, April 19.
