M6 North is shut between Junction nine and ten

The closure of two lanes, at around 11am, led to delays of 20 minutes and three miles of congestion northbound between junction 9 for Walsall and junction 10 for Wolverhampton.

A National Highways: West Midlands spokesman confirmed the closure was for the repair of a large pothole which had been causing problems for motorists.

He said: "The work was carried out as quickly as possible to minimise disruption and the carriageway was open again by mid-day with a few residual delays but traffic is now free flowing,
