M6 J10
Ends: ongoing
Last updated: 4 August 2021

What’s happening?
Walsall Council is working in partnership with Highways England to improve Junction 10 of the M6 motorway.
M6 junction 10 is of strategic importance within the Black Country and the wider region, it is on a busy route between Walsall and Wolverhampton.
The junction is often heavily congested, and this reduces the attractiveness of the local area for business and investment, including within the nearby Black Country Enterprise Zone.
Why is this happening?
The main objectives of the M6 junction 10 scheme are to:
1. Provide a freer-flowing network by:
- reducing congestion on the A454/Black Country Route and other roads linking to the junction
- reducing ‘rat-running’ traffic on nearby routes
- reducing queuing on the motorway slip roads
2. Support economic growth by:
- improving access to the strategic road network
- attracting new business and development to the area
- improving links to Walsall development sites given Enterprise Zone status in 2011
3. Provide a safe and maintainable network by:
- replacing the bridge structures at M6 junction 10, avoiding major maintenance work in the near future
- improving conditions for cyclists, pedestrians and other non-motorised users at the junction
