It’s 50 years this week since the completion of Birmingham’s Gravelly Hill Interchange, better known as Spaghetti Junction.
Construction of the junction began in 1968 and took four years, completing in 1972.
It cost £10.8m, which was more than its original £8m budget.
Spaghetti Junction was designed to carry more than 75,000 vehicles a day and last 120 years, although it now carries many times that number.
