Common questions

Closures and restrictions reported by National Highways — including full road closures, carriageway closures, and lane closures. We show whatever their DATEX feeds publish for this route.

National Highways may not have published it yet, or the works may fall just outside the corridor we map for this route. If you spot a gap, drop us an email or use the chat — tell us the junction or direction and we'll look into it.

No. This page only shows works on the M42 from National Highways. For closures on nearby A-roads and streets, use our road closures pages — search by town or postcode.

Directly from National Highways — the agency that operates motorways and major trunk roads in England. This page is rebuilt four times a day from their DATEX feeds. We don't modify or filter what they publish.
