Plans for a significant upgrade to Junction 10 of the M5 motorway are scheduled to commence in 2026, following a £20 million funding boost agreed upon by local councils. This essential improvement is anticipated to alleviate traffic congestion, enhance road safety, and unlock valuable land for new housing and employment opportunities in the region.
Junction 10 has long been identified as a critical bottleneck, restricting development and hindering economic growth. With the new investment, authorities aim to redesign and expand the junction to accommodate increasing traffic volumes and support the area’s planned expansion.
The project is expected to accelerate local development plans by creating better access to parcels of land earmarked for residential and commercial use. Improved traffic flow will benefit daily commuters and businesses alike, contributing to a more resilient and prosperous local economy.
Construction work is planned to begin in early 2026, with stakeholders emphasizing the project’s importance to the region’s future growth and connectivity.
