At [[Penrith]] (junction 40), the M6 meets the A66, serving traffic [[Keswick]] and the northern Lake District, as well as the A1 via Scotch Corner. At the same interchange, the A592 serves the town of Penrith itself. The road continues north to Carlisle, which is served by three junctions on the motorway. The newest section of the M6 was opened in 2008 (50 years after the opening of the first section, over 80 miles to the south), replacing a section of A74. At junction 45 (Guard's Mill), the M6 stops less than a mile short of the Scottish border, but continues north into Scotland as the [[A74(M) motorway]], which links England with the Glasgow built-up area.
