M60 Junction 14: Worsley Braided / Walkden (East Lancs Road)

M60 J14: Junctions 14 and 15 of the M60 blend into one, in the Swinton area by Roe Green. It isn't the real Spaghetti Junction, which is on the M6 in Birmingham, but seen from above on a map it does look like spaghetti laid out on a plate.

Lots of interconnecting carriageways link Junctions 13 to 15, with roads joining from almost every direction: north, north-east, north-west, east, west, south, south-east and south-west. Here the M60 connects to the M61, which leads north to the A666(M).

Wardley, Clifton and Newtown are beside the junction, and Clifton Country Park is about a mile north-east. Worsley Interchange (J13) is about two miles south-west.

NOTE: The speed flow, overhead sign messages or other information shown on our live traffic speed flow map is updated every few minutes. We cross check the data and aim to provide warnings if there could be a delay or an inaccurate speed reading. There can be occasions, beyond our control, and despite our best efforts where the speed flow could be inaccurate. We cannot therefore guarantee the speed you can expect on any stretch of the motorway is always accurately shown. However we hope you will find our live traffic speed flow map a useful tool in trying to plan your journey. Safe driving.
