Closed
Heavy congestion
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3817449.
Due to the southbound m6 being closed over not only this week end but the next 3 there is far more traffic than the local roads can handle causing delays for up to 9 hours. This is totally un acceptable and could easily be alleviated by the use of a contra flow on the motorway.

Thank you for contacting National Highways about the delays caused by our closure of the southbound carriageway of M6 motorway at junction 33 on the weekend of 11 September. We understand motorists were caught in traffic for a significant period of time and we’re sincerely sorry for this.
We’ve taken onboard recent feedback and plan to do things differently. The new schedule of works will be carried out using lane closures for four weeks starting on Sunday October 2, which will ensure the motorway remains open during the daytime providing a safe environment for both workers and road users.
During the daytime, we will establish lane closures and run two narrow lanes of traffic past the work area to keep customers moving, removing the need for the full weekend closures, which were previously planned. Once the programme has been finalised with our contractors, we will advertise full details via our website, a press release and social media.
If you would like a more detailed response on this matter, please contact our 24hr Customer Contact Centre
