Bamber Bridge Interchange is junction 29 of the M6 and junction 1 of the M65. Originally, this junction formed the southern terminus of the Preston Bypass, until the M6 to the south opened in 1963. The completion of the M65 in December 1997 resulted in the junction being modified to its current form.
In between 1958 and 1997, the signs on the southbound M6 approach to this junction listed "A6 Chorley, Manchester", even with the construction of the superior M61 for those places in between 1968 and 1970.
