Cuts to Congestion in Midlands
The Highways Agency has announced plans to cut congestion around Birmingham. Work started last week on the £150m scheme which plans to open up stretches of the hard shoulder along the M6 during periods of heavy traffic. Other traffic management techniques will also be employed including variable speed limits.

The plans will then be rolled out across the M42 and M40 in a bid to get Birmingham’s motorways moving smoothly and cut the time millions of us spend in our van or car.
