BACKGROUND

A relief road was needed as a by-pass and for through traffic to the north west of Birmingham, as an alternative to the highly congested M6 trunk road. Lacking the public funding to develop the roadway, the Government in 1991decided the M6 Tollway would be a privately funded venture. This required a public-private partnership to expedite project financing and delivery through a design-build-operate-maintain-finance concession arrangement. Exhibit 3.3 provides a site map for the M6 Tollway.
