It's Britain's longest motorway and carries - over its whole length - more traffic than any other so you may have spent quite a bit of time travelling on the M6.
The M6 runs from junction 19 of the M1 and from the beginning of the A14 in Catthorpe near Rugby and provides access to major areas in the North West.
The motorway gives access to Manchester, Chester and Liverpool with major junctions with the M56 and M62 at Warrington.
It is also home to the M6 Toll, which it has been since 2003, and as for interesting facts, the first motorway in Britain was the Preston Bypass, which was then incorporated into the M6 when construction was continued.
Our tool below is continually updated to give travellers information on the latest incidents, crashes and roadworks affecting the M6.
The travel updates will tell you where the congestion or incident is taking place, along with which junction and the direction i.e eastbound.
You can then click through to find out how long the delay is expected for, as well as which lanes are closed or whether diversions are in place.
