HS2 enabling works contractor, LMJV (Laing O’Rourke and J. Murphy & Sons Joint Venture) has installed a 65-metre bridge, spanning the width of the M42, in just two days and ahead of schedule as the motorway reopened 22 hours earlier than planned.

The works near Interchange Station move Solihull a step closer to the arrival of HS2, Britain’s new low carbon high speed railway.

LMJV worked with Laing O’Rourke subsidiary Expanded Structures and bridge builder Cleveland Bridge to construct the new 2,750-tonne bridge structure, which was then carried along the motorway on a self-propelled modular transporter.
