What if, instead of building the first section of M6 motorway from Birmingham to Preston, the UK govt built a M41 motorway following the A41 from Wolverhampton all the way to Chester then Birkenhead then Liverpool via the Mersey tunnels.

Also again following the A34, built a M34 motorway from the NE of Birmingham through Walsall, Stafford , Stoke-on-Trent, then up to Manchester?

Would this be possible, especially around the early '70's when the M6 was first built.?

Would these plans help the traffic flow having both motorways built instead of having just the one, especially as the current M6 is always near to capacity?

Also, instead of having the M6 continue to the M1, north of Rugby, you could build a M45 motorway from East Birmingham, past the airport following the A45 to Coventry where it connects with the current M45.
