West Midlands road is among the country's "most expensive" toll roads - Here's where it ranks

The M6 Toll, also known as the Midland Expressway, is a 27-mile stretch of motorway that serves as a northern bypass for Birmingham and the West Midlands.

Opened in 2003, it was designed to alleviate congestion on the M6, one of the UK’s busiest motorways.

According to a study by Moneybarn Car Finance, the M6 Toll is the UK’s second most expensive toll road, generating an impressive £107,897,000 in revenue. This places it just behind the Dartford Crossing, which tops the list with £215,900,000.

The toll charges on the M6 Toll vary depending on the type of vehicle and the time of day, with prices ranging from £1.70 to £12.90.

The M6 Toll connects M6 Junction 3a at the Coleshill Interchange to M6 Junction 11A at Wolverhampton.

It is particularly beneficial for those traveling to popular destinations in the region, such as the NEC, Birmingham Airport, and Drayton Manor.

The road is divided into eight toll sections, labeled T1-T8, making it easier for drivers to understand the toll charges based on their entry and exit points.
