Drivers were stranded on the M6 for up to 12 hours as National Highways bosses scramble to "rethink" recent roadworks.
The southbound carriageway was closed between junctions 33 and 32 over the weekend while important repairs were carried out, but the result was drivers being forced to queue for hours on end as some claimed they had to ration water while waiting. Bosses are now reportedly thinking about reworking the roadworks that are set to continue over the next three weekends.
Hundreds of cars were pictured queuing on the busy motorway, with people quick to criticise National Highways for the decision to close the motorway as well as the decision to merge three lanes into one as cars approached junction 33.
