M6 Junction 10 work branded 'complete waste of time' as £78m project nears completion
Residents have slammed a 'nearly complete' multi-million pound project saying it is "completely useless".
Residents who live adjacent to the M6 Junction 10 works have told the Express and Star that the project to ease traffic congestion is "a waste of time".
The upset comes as the works to finish the project are near completion, with National Highways defending the project, saying that residents will feel the full benefit of the refit later this year.
Brian Powell, a resident of the area, said: "It's a complete waste of money, it hasn't improved anything, the holdups around the island are no different than what they used to be.
"One of the biggest problems is the phasing of the traffic lights, you get across the motorway and the lights turn red, but other lights are still green. If you get two lorries and the lights go to red, you can't move.
"Not only that, but the amount of lanes going around the island is extremely confusing, to get to where I need to go I have to go across three lanes of traffic, then I have to get into another lane. It's not well marked and it's very confusing."
