Gravelly Hill Interchange, Road interchange in Birmingham, United Kingdom

The Gravelly Hill Interchange contains five levels of roads supported by 559 concrete columns reaching heights of 24.4 meters above ground level.

Construction of the interchange began in September 1968 with an initial budget of 8 million pounds and reached completion in May 1972.

The nickname Spaghetti Junction emerged from a Birmingham Evening Mail article in 1965 comparing the planned design to tangled pasta strands.

The structure incorporates 18 different routes across 30 acres, managing traffic flow between major roadways including the M6 motorway and A38 expressway.

The interchange spans over three canals, two railway lines, and two rivers, requiring 21.7 kilometers of elevated motorway construction.
