Churchbridge Junction

Churchbridge is a road junction situated between Churchbridge and Bridgtown in Staffordshire. It links the A5, A34, and A460 to the adjacent M6 Toll.

The layout of the junction

The junction is a magic gyratory,[1] which means that it is similar to a magic roundabout, except that the constituent roundabouts are connected by lengths of roadway.

The current junction layout was created in 2002–2003, incorporating the M6 Toll.[2]

The junction is a source of congestion.[3] The Highways Agency plans improvements in 2014, with expected completion in the spring of the following year. The cost of the work is estimated at £2.03 million.[4]
