Terminal roundabout, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The diversion route to and from the M6 south can be seen here, using a section of road that will eventually be the westbound M65. It's clear that the sections of roadway that would be required for the diversion were prioritised over everything else: no other parts of the motorway are anywhere near finished.
