    Skanska is leading on a £282 million project to improve junction 6 of the M42. The scheme, delivered on behalf of National Highways, provides a comprehensive upgrade of the junction near Birmingham Airport, allowing better movement of traffic on and off the A45.

    Works include:

    • A new 2.4km dual carriageway link road
    • A new junction on the M42 motorway, Junction 5A
    • A new pedestrian footbridge over the A45
    • Demolition of the existing Solihull Road overbridge and construction of a new bridge to replace it
    • Realignment of the existing local road network

    As part of this project, Skanska has installed two bridges using a carefully crafted digital approach. Engineers at Skanska performed digital rehearsals of the intricate operation, utilizing SYNCHRO 4D software. Adam Steele will demonstrate how this innovative approach helped drive better decision-making and create a more cohesive, transparent, and collaborative environment. Gavin and Manjit will provide wider context from National Highways, including their development of a new strategy on Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to help improve the predictability of complex project delivery and reduce planning / scheduling delays.
