About

National Highways awarded a contract to Ove Arup & Partners Limited for Category 3 assessment checks on the M6 College Road and M6 Gravelly Hill bridges.

The M6 College/Aldridge Road structure carries the M6 Motorway over the A453 College Road and comprises three spans with voided reinforced concrete cantilever spans and a reinforced concrete suspended span acting compositely with 10 longitudinal steel box girders.

Cracking has been identified at stiffener and bracing locations within several box girders, with the distribution and number of cracks increasing significantly over the past decade despite two holding repair interventions.

The assessment addresses the risk of cracks propagating into the box girder webs, which could lead to load restrictions and disruptive repairs.

The contract value is £135,354.42.
