M6 Toll

A new route to connect the M54, which currently only has south-facing access to the M6, to the M6 Toll slightly to the north. The route will be paid for by the M6 Toll concessionaires. Sadly, considering this will be a link between three motorways, early signs are that it will not be a motorway itself.

The road will be free to use, though obviously traffic joining the M6 Toll will be subject to the toll charges.

A northern bypass of the West Midlands conurbation to motorway standard, with three lanes in each direction, aiming to relieve the congested M6 through Birmingham. Includes upgrades of connecting roads M6 and M42. Built privately and financed by road tolls.
