M1_motorway }} Image:119042_528cfb5d.jpg The '''M69''' is a Motorway in Leicestershire and Warwickshire, England connecting Leicester and Coventry. This 15.7 Mile (25.3 Km) long road is a dual three lane Dual_carriageway, but carries a relatively low level of traffic. It is used to provide a shorter route from the M6 eastbound and the M1 northbound and vice versa by avoiding Junction 19 on the M1. It was built to relieve the A46 roadThe Motorway Archive - M69. ==Route== Starting on the northern Suburbs of Coventry at junction 2 of the M6 the motorwary crosses the Coventry_Canal and then continues north east past Bulkington and west of Wolvey before turning more easterly to run south of Hinckley. It then crosses the Birmingham to Peterborough railway line before ending on the south west edge of Leicester. ==Junctions== {| border=1 cellpadding=2 style="margin-left:1em; margin-bottom: 1em; color: black; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |- align="center" bgcolor="0080d0" style="color: white;font-size:120%;" | colspan="3" | '''M69 motorway''' |- align="center" bgcolor="000000" style="color: white" | Northbound exits* | Junction | Southbound exits* |- align="center" | Leicester '''A5460''' ('''A563''')
