The United Kingdom's M64 motorway was planned during the 1970s to link the M6 at Stoke-on-Trent with the M1 near Castle Donington, by way of Uttoxeter and Derby. Its purpose would have been to allow traffic travelling from the south-east to the north-west to avoid the busy M6 around Birmingham

Why is there no M64?


What happened? In the mid-1970s the United Kingdom had major economic problems. Many projects were canned to save costs, and the M64 was one of them. Instead, an upgraded A50, the existing main route in the area, was proposed, following in the same general routing as M64.
