The Wigan North Link (Crow Orchard) opened to the public on 29th July 1963 when the M6 Motorway from Bamber Bridge (Preston) to beyond the Thelwall Viaduct was opened to traffic late afternoon following the official drive through.

If they were building it today, I doubt they would build it with that kink in it.
More likely just CPO the Farm and a dozen or so Houses and lay it on a swept curve.
