Concept Plans

For a number of years a need for a link between the M54 , M6 and the M6 (Toll) has been recognised. Such a link would reduce the congestion on both the A460 between Wolverhampton and Cannock, and also the A449 between Wolverhampton and Gailey.

The Secretary of State for Transport, Douglas Alexander, announced on 24 May 2006 that "by using resources released from the M6 Toll's refinancing, the Highways Agency will be able to speed up the construction of the new link from M54 to the M6 and M6 Toll".

Following this announcement, public information exhibitions were held to show the concepts that had been developed to date, the process to take the project forward and to seek views on the concepts shown.

The concept plans show broad route alignments. They are not definite and no decisions have been made at this stage..

Further development work on the options is ongoing.
