THE Minister of Transport last week published proposals for the remaining 12 miles of M6—the section linking the proposed Penrith and Carlisle by-passes. The new road will relieve AG of most of its long-distance traffic; this will undoubtedly increase greatly when the motorway from the south reaches Penrith.
This section of M6 will, with the Carlisle by-pass, form thc northern end of a motorway route which, when completed, will run continuously for 317 miles from London to Carlisle. It will start at the northern end of the proposed Penrith by-pass just east of Catterlen. cross the main London-Carlisle railway line near Low Hurst and link with the southern end of the proposed Carlisle by-pass on A6 at the Golden Fleece, just south of Carleton village. Access to the motorway will be restricted to junctions with a new trunk road link to A6 at Catterlen and with A6 again at the Golden Fleece at the northern end.
