Why we are different at the M6toll In this section About Us Work With Us Environment Drive for Charity Home About Us The M6toll isn’t just a road. It’s a stress-busting, time-saving, congestion-free escape route. A gateway to gigs, a protector of business meetings, even a shortcut to your own bed. An M6-alternative that ensures everyone can reach their destination relaxed, recharged and ready for what lies around the next corner. Simply put, the M6toll is the most reliable and smart route through the Midlands. It’s also a sure-fire way of making lighter work of long journeys, cutting out the congested alternative routes and ensuring everything and everyone gets from A to B in a jiffy. Our origins go back to 1980, when the UK government first looked at easing congestion in the Midlands. The M6 had been built to carry up to 72,000 vehicles a day, and would struggle to keep up with growth in the region and the number of business and leisure trips. The decision was taken in 1991 to build a new privately funded motorway. In addition to alleviating congestion on the M6, the route would also follow existing roads: the A5, A38 and A446, so they too would benefit. Midland Expressway Ltd were awarded the concession to build and manage the M6toll, investing £1bn of private funding. Today we employ over 150 people dedicated to running our road safely, smoothly and keeping it in peak condition for a stress free drive.
