M6 Junction 6 Gravelly Hill Salford Circus (A38) Concrete Repairs
The Project
Where
Salford Circus Roundabout lies to the east of M6 Junction 6, Gravelly Hill, Birmingham. It connects Tyburn Road (A38), Lichfield Road and Gravelly Hill (A1527) with the M6 and the A38M into Birmingham.
When
The works started on 12 May 2008 and was completed on 28 August 2009.
What did we we do?
The project was to repair eight concrete crossbeams that supports the carriageway above the roundabout at Salford Circus. Four of these crossbeams awere sited within the sunken pedestrian area and four on the inner paved section of the roundabout. Steelwork was erected to support the carriageway above whilst the repairs were undertaken.
Key Benefits for Public
The project was designed to conduct the repairs in such a way as not to affect the traffic flow on the carriageway above and to have minimal impact on the flow of traffic using the Salford Circus roundabout.
