Work is to begin on a £100 million repair and waterproofing on the M5 motorway in the West Midlands.
The concrete repair and waterproofing scheme will be carried out on the Oldbury viaduct as part of a major government investment.
Work will take place between junctions 1 - 2 of the motorway and is expected to last until spring 2019.
Highways England delivery manager, Colin Jackson, said: "We will be starting work on a major concrete repair and waterproofing scheme at the Oldbury viaduct, between junctions 1 and 2 of the M5 in the West Midlands, this month.
"At a cost in excess of £100 million Highways England is delivering a huge investment that will support economic growth locally and in the wider West Midlands.
"Motorists travelling from across the country will be encouraged to consider alternative routes such as the M42 and M6 to keep congestion to a minimum on the M5 and surrounding roads while work takes place."
