M6 junction 17 reconstruction
From November 2014 to March 2015, the Highways Agency was remodelling junction 17 (first constructed in 1963 when this stretch of the M6 opened) "to address the existing problem with queuing times as part of the national Pinch Point Programme". The cost was £2.3 million. Works included construction of a new roundabout at the top of the northbound off slip with new slip roads on and off the motorway, and new traffic signals at the top of the M6 southbound exit slip.
