Soon astronauts in space will be able to view Birmingham's Spaghetti Junction glowing at night. Birmingham City Council is planning to illuminate the giant interchange that links the M6, Aston Expressway, A38 and A5127 above two railway lines, three canals and two rivers.
Birmingham City Council officials want to illuminate the flyover network to turn it into a landmark as part of a £6 billion makeover project of the city. Clive Dutton, director of planning at Birmingham City Council, said: "It is an extraordinary structure, one that is known around the country, but we feel as though it can have a massive impact around the world."
Well, the ambitious plan is currently at the drawing board stage, and officials are still unsure how many lights would be required and the Highways Agency would have to be consulted. On the other hand, the council has already applied for lottery funding for the project and hopes that the lights will be switched on as early as next year.
