And we can always rely on a politician to make a witty comment, Lord Davies of Leek said on Spaghetti Jcn:
"I do not want to raise a scare, but, in the hagiography St. Pachomius crossed the river Nile on a crocodile. He had a better chance than some people will have 10 years from now getting across Spaghetti Junction".
My question is: But who on earth would want to even try?!

it took 4 years from 1968 to Opening May 1972Does anyone know how long it took from start to finish to build Spaghetti Junction. Often think of the times I walked down Slade Road, under the railway arch to get t Salford Park, to sail my yacht, or get the No 5 tram up to Lozells and Villa Road, to go to Handsworth Tech
