This junction is at the intersection of the M18/ A1(M). It was constructed in 1967 although the north eastern arm wasn't added until 1979. The junction just clips the northern edge of Wadworth Wood which the motorway bisects. Prior to the junction the area was agricultural. Early OS maps depict thin strip fields created through the consolidation of furlongs in the medieval open fields. The 1st edition OS map of 1854 labels the area as 'The Wike Field'. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
