About this road

The M6 at a glance

The M6 is Britain's longest motorway and its busiest freight corridor, running from the M1 at Rugby through Birmingham, Stoke, Manchester's edge and Preston to Carlisle. The stretch through the West Midlands between J8 and J10a is one of the most congested pieces of road in Europe, and the Thelwall Viaduct and Shap summit both generate their own delays. This page shows live incidents, roadworks and closures along the full route, refreshed every 5 minutes.
