The M42 will be closed between the Dunton Interchange at junction nine and the Tamworth Interchange at junction 10
Drivers have been advised to plan journeys ahead of a motorway closure for HS2 work this weekend.
The M42, near Coleshill, Warwickshire, will shut in both directions from 21:00 BST on Friday through to 05:00 BST on Monday.
It will be fully closed between the Dunton Interchange at junction nine and Tamworth Interchange at junction 10.
National Highways said the closures were to keep motorists and construction teams safe as work took place.
The closure is to allow teams to assess the newly built Marston Box railway bridge, which was installed earlier this year.
Work will also be take place to survey the bridge's drainage system and to install safety barriers.
A full diversion is set to be in place throughout.
