Meir Tunnel, which is 284 metres long, forms part of the upgrading of the A50, through a heavily trafficked urban area of Stoke-on-Trent. The tunnel is self-ventilating and varying levels of lighting are provided. Three crossover openings are provided in the central wall (the illuminated "green man" signs can be seen to the right hand side of the carriageway).
