The work finally took place at M6 Junction 10 for Walsall after previously being postponed twice at short notice.

The junction was closed from Friday night until Monday morning, causing long delays. Highways England teams said the work was completed three hours ahead of schedule.

The work marks a significant step in the £78 million transformation of junction 10, which will replace the 50-year-old bridges currently in place across the motorway and double the number of lanes around the bottleneck junction from two to four.
