Delays for motorists after shed load from lorry causes M6 closure near Birmingham
Traffic has been stopped on the M6 due to the shed load.
Motorists have been warned of delays on the M6 near Birmingham after a lorry shed its load and caused traffic to stop.
West Midlands Roads put out a post just before 8am to say that the lorry had shed its load on the southbound carriageway between Junction 6 for Spaghetti Junction and Junction 5 for Castle Bromwich, leaving debris over the road.
A later update at 8.19am said traffic had been stopped due to the issue, with the A38 also closed at Junction 6, with the most recent update saying that two lanes had been reopened, but with delays on the motorway of up to 60 minutes.
A spokesman for West Midlands Roads said: “On the M6 southbound between J6 Spaghetti Junction and J5 Castle Bromwich, a lorry has shed its load.
“Debris in the road and congestion is building.
“Traffic has now been released in two lanes. Delays are currently 60 + minutes.”
