M6 barrier repairs complete after drivers face two-hour delays
A crash on the M6 faced long delays this morning after one lane was closed for barrier repairs.
Lane one of the northbound carriageway has been shut between junctions 10 for Walsall and 10A for the M54 after a routine check found the damaged barrier.
National Highways said it needed immediate repair, before putting a block in place so crews could put out cones and start work.
A spokesman said there was no sign of any vehicles that hit the barrier, but added that work is expected to last most of the morning.
At their peak delays were two hours with queues stretching back towards junction 6 of the M6 and junction 2 of the M5.
All lanes were open again at around 10.45am when National Highways reported residual delays of an hour and congestion back beyond junction 8 of the M6 and down the M5.
Elsewhere, a crash on the M6Toll left two lanes shut between junctions T5 for Shenstone and T6 for Brownhills on the northbound carriageway.
National Highways was reporting three miles of congestion and 30-minute delays shortly before 8.45am, before reporting all lanes were open again at around 9.15am.
