Re: M5 junction 7 northbound entry slip resurfacing.
I’m writing to inform you of some upcoming maintenance works on the M5 near Worcester.
This work will be carried out by our contractor, Kier, on our behalf.
What we’re doing and why? What are the benefits?
We’ll be resurfacing the M5 junction 7 northbound entry slip. The work has been identified following the deterioration of the carriageway. The work will also include the repainting of road markings and replacing road studs. The resurfaced exit slip will provide a smoother and safer surface for road users, and will extend the life of the road whilst minimising the need for future maintenance.
When will this work take place?
We’ll work overnight from Monday 15 June to Thursday 18 June, 8pm to 6am.
What does this mean for you?
During closures, we’ll provide a fully signed diversion route. Emergency vehicles will have access through the work.
I’d also like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption to those living close to the work. We’ll make every effort to carefully manage noise levels and additional lighting to minimise the impact.
All our sites have strict safeguarding measures, in line with Public Health England guidance, to prevent the spread of COVID19 and none of our sites are open to the public, they are closely monitored, and the situation is kept under constant review.
We always apply the Government’s latest advice. We have well tested contingency plans and our on-road teams, control room staff and the people who back them up are all working hard to maintain a safe road network whilst this work is carried out.
