Spaghetti Junction

For people who check facts
Spaghetti Junction is the unofficial name for junction 6 of the M6 motorway in Birmingham, England, and is so named for its impressive system of intertwined loops and ramps. It provides access to and from the A38 and local roads.

The official name is the Gravelly Hill Interchange.

It was built in the early 1970s.

Spaghetti Junction is also the unofficial name of the intersection of Interstatess 64, 65, and 71 at the northeastern edge of downtown Louisville, Kentucky. It has been a source of confusion to drivers, both locals and tourists, for decades, and is a major bottleneck in the Ohio Valley's transportation system.

The state of Kentucky has announced a multi-year project to completely reconfigure the interchange; it is not expected to be complete until at least 2008.
