M40/M42 Interchange (northbound)
M40/M42 Interchange (northbound)
The northern end of the M40. The motorway splits here with the two left hand lanes leaving to join the northbound M42 whilst the two right hand lanes continue (as the westbound M42) towards the M5.
The M40 Motorway

The M40 Motorway runs for 89 miles, connecting the cities of London and Birmingham.

The motorway was built in two sections. The original M40 which was built between 1967 and 1974 ran from London to Oxford, bypassing the congested A40. In the late 1980s and early 1990s it was extended to join the M42 at Solihull in order to provide an alternative to the M1/M6 route between London and Birmingham; the final section being opened in January 1991.
