Welcome to the Roadscapes Wednesday segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Roadscapes Wednesday will feature roads and infrastructure related topics. Geek Alabama Editor / Publisher Nathan Young is often called the “road geek” for a good reason, Nathan loves roads and loves talking about roads!

“This is the missing link, the part of the jigsaw that we needed to make our motorway system make sense.”

The day before it opens to the general motoring public, Wheelbase presenter Barrie Gill takes a test drive on the new M1 – M6 motorway link, the Gravelly Hill interchange, colloquially known as Spaghetti Junction.

Is it as complicated to navigate as it looks?
