The '''M61 motorway''' is a major road in
England. It runs from the
M60 motorway north west of
Manchester, and heads north west past
Bolton, Greater Manchester Bolton and
Chorley to end at the junction of the
M6 motorway M6 and
M65 motorways just 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 motorway M60 ring road, is a collection of myriad slip roads and overpass tunnels providing free-flowing access to and from the motorway to the A580 (East Lancashire road), the motorway spur road to and from the A666, access to both anti-clockwise and clockwise carraigeways of the M60 and full access for traffic wishing to travel both northbound and southbound on the M61.
Media
The M61 has one motorway service area. Bolton West (formerly known as Anderton), located between Junctions 6 and 8, junction 7 was never built. This MSA was used in the filming of ''The Services'' a pilot episode for the Boltonian comedian
Peter Kay series ''That Peter Kay Thing.'', a spoof documentary of a day in the life of the MSA staff.
