More about this scene
December 1958 saw the country's first motorway, the M6 Preston bypass. Other sections soon followed, with the Lancaster bypass opening in 1960 and the Thelwall Viaduct, which takes the road high above the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, being completed in 1965. It was not until 1970, however, that the M6 reached England's northern border at Carlisle.
