M6 Toll

It’s a stress-busting, time-saving, congestion-free escape route. A gateway to gigs, a protector of business meetings, even a shortcut to your own bed. An M6-alternative that ensures everyone can reach their destination relaxed, recharged and ready for what lies around the next corner. Simply put, the M6toll is the most reliable and smart route through the Midlands and a sure-fire way of making lighter work of long journeys. 3 million hours saved per year for business and private travellers, saving them £280m. We’ve created 5,000 new jobs and attracted 1,200 additional firms to the region. In 1991, the decision was taken to build a new privately-funded motorway, with a route that would not only alleviate congestion on the M6, but also provide relief for the A5, A38 and A446. Midland Expressway Ltd was awarded the concession to build and manage the M6toll, investing £1bn in its construction. The road opened in December 2003 and now carries over 50,000 vehicles every day, overseen by a dedicated team of more than 150 staff, helping you enjoy a safe, smooth and stress-free drive. Since 2023, M6toll has been part of Aleatica, which has overseen a £20 million investment in the road to create a quicker, simpler and easier driving experience. Aleatica is a smart, safe and sustainable mobility company dedicated to operating transportation infrastructure, with a footprint throughout Latin America and Europe. Fully owned by IFM Investors, the company currently manages 20 concessions: 16 highways, 2 ports, 1 light rail line, and 1 airport, across seven countries: Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Chile. To help deliver this long term commitment, M6toll is guided by Aleatica’s 5 key pillars, which support all its actions and projects: safety first; social and environmental sustainability; excellence in service; corporate integrity; and passion for our team.
