SPAGHETTI JUNCTION MAP
Spaghetti Junction map in cable knitting.
Designed and knitted by Ben Ashforth.
The Gravelly Hill interchange, junction 6 of the M6 motorway, was constructed between 1968 and 1972 and immediately acquired the nickname “spaghetti junction” because of the complicated, looping appearance of its 4 km of slip roads. The roads are supported on a total of 559 columns, with several rivers, canals and railways underneath.
