Lancaster was linked up to the English motorway network on 29 January 1965 when a section of the M6 was opened, linking the city with Preston. This came after a short motorway bypass of Lancaster has been constructed 5 years prior, which also forms a part of the M6. The M6 was opened north of Lancaster to Penrith (later Carlisle) in 1970.
