	M6 Toll - Overview
		Since the M6 Toll opened in December 2003, it has grown from strength to strength and is recognised to be a key strategic route through the West Midlands.
		This was to follow existing roads: the A5, A38 and A446, all of which would also benefit from reduced congestion.
		The M6 Toll runs from junction 3a on the M6 and arcs around the north-east of the West Midlands conurbation rejoining the M6 at 11a.
