Contractors working for HS2 have removed a 4,000 tonne bridge over the M42 to make way for the construction of the new high speed line across the motorway near the Interchange Station construction site in Solihull.

A team of 20 demolition experts from Solihull-based firm Armac, working on behalf of HS2’s main works contractor in the Midlands, Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV), carried out the demolition in just 16 hours.

The operation was coordinated in conjunction with National Highways, who were able to open the motorway section between Junctions 6 and 7 at midnight, which was 5 hours earlier than planned, reducing disruption to road users.
