The M42 will be closed in both directions between junction 5 and junction 6 over the first weekend in October, National Highways has announced.
The motorway will be closed from 10pm on Friday 30 September to 6am on Monday 3 October to allow two new bridges to be installed across the road.
Works form part of a £282million project to build a new junction (5a) which is expected to be completed in 2025.
National Highways said: "We're upgrading the M42 junction 6 to enable better movement of traffic on and off the A45, supporting access to Birmingham International Airport and train station as well as preparing capacity for the new HS2 station.
"Our work includes creating a new junction on the M42 and building a dual carriageway between this new junction and Clock Interchange."
