About the project

The Smart Motorway Programme (SMP) Alliance has been commissioned to deliver the dynamic hard

shoulder (DHS) enhancements programme, including the section of the M6 between junctions 4 and 5.

Following the release of the Transport Select Committee (TSC) response in January 2022 [1], the

Department for Transport (DfT) and National Highways have paused the DHS to all lane running (ALR)

upgrade programme until Road Investment Strategy 3 (2025-2030). Whilst the upgrade to ALR is paused,

National Highways has committed to continue to deliver enhancements as noted in the TSC response.

Therefore, a revised approach to scheme delivery, and subsequently National Highways Major Projects

project control framework (PCF) governance, is required to comply with DfT’s and National Highways’

commitments. The scheme will be delivered in the following phases:

·         Phase A: Central reserve (CR) barrier upgrade to achieve a minimum of H1 containment

·         Phase B: Enhancements to DHS verge infrastructure

·         Phase C: Further safety enhancements (in accordance with TSC response)

·         Phase D: Upgrade to ALR operation (subject to review of the smart motorway programme)

Works on site have begun on the M6 scheme for phase A and are to be followed by works for phase B.

The delivery of the scheme in phases will require stage assessment gate assessment review (SGAR) 5

for each phase.
