The whole 55 miles was due to be completed in 19 months. Now it takes nearly that long to repair a bit of the M6 near Spaghetti Junction!

Love to know what they considered "congested" in those days.

That's 1950's pounds, 16 million pounds in those days would come close to half a billion pounds in these day's money.

All those Gantt charts and schedule documents, all done by hand, and all update at least once a day. There must have been hundreds of men and women who were involved in just maintaining the schedules. Now would involve maybe fifteen people with everything done by computer and updated in real time.

I wonder if there's any clips of the M6 Preston bypass which was completed prior to the M1.

Probably a few more cars than usual and maybe if traffic stopped for just a few seconds. Sedate contrast to nowadays.
