"Spaghetti Junction, officially the Gravelly Hill Interchange, is the complex motorway junction between M6 and the A38(M) several miles north of Birmingham city centre." - from Rodspages
Spaghetti Junction, 30 years old in 2002, covers 30 acres, serves 18 routes and includes 2.5 miles of slip roads, but only 0.6 miles of the M6 itself.
Work on the junction started in 1968 and took 4 years to complete construction of the 18 roads and 559 concrete columns, reaching up to 24.4 metres height.

 Spaghetti Junction
The name "Spaghetti Junction" more closely captures the appearance of the junction, where three motorways meet and tangle with a host of major and minor roads that lead into and out of Birmingham.
Spaghetti Junction, which is about two miles long from end to end, is raised hundreds of feet above the ground on concrete pillars.
Its main distinction is that most of it is single carriageway, although this is slightly misleading, as there are 7 lanes, of which 6 are in use at any time.

 yourDictionary.com • Library: Meaning of Spaghetti
While there are plenty of examples from medieval times onwards of the word used in the sense of "little strings", "spaghetti" as foodstuff is recorded in Italian only from about the turn of the nineteenth century, and in English only from the mid nineteenth century.
"Spaghetti" is so widely recognized as the characteristic national foodstuff of Italy that the word has sometimes been used in English to represent "Italian", as in spaghetti western "a western filmed in Italy".
The one word "spaghetti" is a wonderful story of how words change over time as they pass from language to language, from mind to mind.

Spaghetti Junction is both a city-centre access route and a city-centre bypass route.
The consequence of this merging of two types of traffic is gridlock, which stunts the growth of the central city, promoting perimeter development instead.
Making the Spaghetti Junction bypass links more attractive to motorists will diminish the incentive for them to use the western route when it becomes available.

 Urban Design Policy Brief: Spaghetti Junction
The D.C. suburbs have the “Mixing Bowl.” In Rochester, the most infamous is the “Can of Worms.” Drivers in other cities employ other derisive nicknames: “Orange Crush,” “Hillside Strangler” and “Malfunction Junction.” These ominous labels evoke the psychological impact caused by the tangled confluences of major highways--interchanges on steroids.
These points on the nation’s interstate web feed vehicles into a dizzying filtration system that spins motorists about on a roller coaster of ramps and through a dicey succession of lane changes, before spitting them out in some new direction.
And that figure does not take into consideration the financial benefits of all that development money rippling through the economy, or the sales tax revenue generated by new urban residents spending their dollars in the city.

 Birmingham & Fazeley Canal from Canal Junction
Until recently, the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal was a ‘private’ industrial world behind high walls with three long flights of locks (Farmer’s Bridge, Aston and Curdworth) coping with a steep descent from Gas Street Basin at the end of the Birmingham Canal to the Coventry Canal at Fazeley.
The M6 is only one of six main roads connected by the many twisting slip roads that give rise to the name Spaghetti Junction.
Hemmed in by factory walls, the locks could not be duplicated and were eventually bypassed completely (1844) by the 8 mile Tame Valley Canal which connected to the Birmingham and Fazeley at the bottom of the hill at Salford Junction.
