PASSENGERS heading by road to Birmingham International Airport during the first weekend of August are being advised to allow extra time for their journey.

The M42 motorway, a key route into the airport, will be closed between junctions 7 and 9 between 11pm on August 3, and 4am on August 6.

In addition, the link roads between the M42, junction 8, and the M6, junction 4A, will also be closed.

The closure is to allow for essential demolition and dismantling work in preparation for the construction of the Birmingham Northern Relief Road.
