M6 junction 10 improvement scheme opens to traffic
As of today, all temporary traffic management measures have been lifted from junction 10 of the M6 as the final phase of our upgrade work is complete.
Drivers are now able to use all the available lanes on the motorway and the connecting roads through the junction.
We thank you for your patience and cooperation throughout our work.
What’s coming up?
Walsall Council has responsibility for operating the traffic lights through the junction. Minor adjustments, for example to traffic light timings, may be needed to ensure traffic is running as smoothly as possible. National Highways will also be reviewing the junction’s performance and taking remedial action where necessary.
We’ll also return for snagging and landscaping work around the junction. While most of these activities will be away from the road, we may occasionally need to close lanes to keep our workforce and drivers safe. We’ll reduce disruption by working during off-peak times or overnight.
Separate to the junction 10 improvement scheme, planned bridge joint repairs and other maintenance work on the motorway between junctions 8 and 10 will start next month.

We’re sorry for the disruption this work may cause to your journey and encourage drivers to plan ahead and allow extra time when travelling. We’ll aim to reopen the roads sooner if we complete our work earlier than expected.

Project information
The M6 junction 10 currently experiences significant congestion and traffic delays, particularly during morning and evening peak times. Road capacity problems have been identified as one of the main transport issues facing the Black Country within the West Midlands Local Transport Plan.
The congestion includes queuing on the roundabout and the motorway slip roads, the Black Country Route and other roads leading to the junction. The improvements will ease congestion and reduce journey times for the thousands of drivers who use it every day
We're working collaboratively with Walsall council to deliver the scheme within the current budget and to meet commitments made in our Delivery Plan and Walsall Council’s major transport scheme priorities for the period 2015-19.
We have a target completion period and are working as quickly as possible to complete the improvement work.
Existing M6 Junction 10 layout prior to works starting
New M6 Junction 10 layout after work has finished
As part of the improvement work we’ll:
- replace the two existing bridges with two new, four-lane bridges to increase capacity
- widen the existing junction slip roads
- improve the slip roads and approaches on the local road network
- widen the westbound A454 Black Country Route
Benefits:
Provide a freer flowing network by:
- reducing congestion on the A454 (Black Country Route and Wolverhampton Road) and other roads linking to the junction
- reducing ‘rat-running’ traffic on nearby routes
- reducing queuing on the motorway slip roads
Support economic growth by:
- improving access to the strategic road network
- attracting new business and development to the area
- improving links to nearby Enterprise Zone sites and other development sites
Provide a safe and maintainable network by:
- replacing the bridges, avoiding major disruptive maintenance work in the future
- improving conditions for cyclists, pedestrians and horse-riders for crossing the junction safely
