Midland Expressway has been embarrassed by gridlock on the new M6 toll road during the rush hour yesterday on a two-mile stretch near Sutton Coldfield.
The M6, in Birmingham, which the toll road was designed to relieve, moved freely.
The toll motorway operator said the jam was because of roadworks to resolve unevenness on one short stretch of the route.
