Major £78m overhaul of M6 junction 10 finally complete
A major road overhaul of M6 junction 10 is finally finished as the final temporary traffic measures in place for the £78 million works were lifted earlier today.
Drivers will now be able to use all lanes of the M6 Junction 10 island after it was announced that the final stage of the four-year-long upgrade works was completed on Thursday.
The project, which started in March 2020 has cost £78m to complete and has seen a number of major changes come to the motorway, in the form of traffic light management, lane creation and changes to the slip roads.
The works were started to ease congestion on the A454 Black Country Route Wolverhampton Road, and other roads linking to the major junction.
The works also looked to reduce queuing traffic on the motorway slip-roads and reduce 'rat-running' traffic on nearby routes.
Councillor Mike Bird, leader of Walsall Council, said: "I think it's a fantastic engineering project and it has improved the area dramatically, I have heard a lot of praise already saying how efficient it is.
