Southbound between junctions 1 and 2, travelling through the densely populated Black Country, the M5 has all six lanes elevated on sections of the Midlands Link Viaducts.

Other sections are sunken into steep-walled cuttings. Just south of junction 2, there is a narrow hard shoulder.

Between junctions 3 and 4a, the widening to three lanes was carried out more cheaply than elsewhere - on this section the original bridges remain, only wide enough for two lanes and hard shoulder.
