The M61 is a motorway in North West England. It runs from the M60 motorway northwest of Manchester and heads northwest past Bolton and Chorley to join the M6 just north of the junction between the M6 and M65 motorways to the south of Preston. == Worsley Braided Interchange == Perhaps the most distinguishing section of the M61 is to be found at the southern end at the Worsley Braided Interchange between junctions 1 and 3. This stretch of the road on the approach to the terminus with the M60 ring road is a collection of sliproads and overpass tunnels providing free-flowing access to and from the following: *the A580 (East Lancashire Road) *the motorway spur road to and from the A666 *both the clockwise and the anti-clockwise carriageways of the M60 (originally M62) *both the northbound and the southbound carriageways of the M61. This complicated junction earns a place in the ''Guinness Book of World Records'' for having the most traffic lanes side by side (17), spread across several parallel carriageways at Linnyshaw.〔(British Roads Database ) www.cbrd.co.uk URL accessed 18 February 2008〕 The Google Maps location of this incidence is () On its opening on 17 December 1970, it was already known locally as "Spaghetti Junction",〔Johnson, W.M. (2000), ("A627(M) Rochdale–Oldham Motorway" ), ''Lancashire County Council'' website accessed 28 June 2011〕 17 months before the opening of Gravelly Hill Interchange in Birmingham, nowadays most associated with that name in Britain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「M61 motorway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
