  A59 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A59 is a major road, in the United Kingdom running from Liverpool in Merseyside to York in Yorkshire.
After Chatburn the road goes past Sawley before going through the village of Gisburn (which is said to have been spelt 'Gisburne' for hundreds of years until the railway came along and a railway employee missed the "e" off on the station sign).
The road enters Yorkshire near Horton from whence the road goes through West and East Marton before a roundabout junction with the A56 after which you enter Broughton.

Referred to as Route 225 in the Road Plan, the scheme was the subject of preliminary design, to the extent that, in the construction of the M61 in the late 60's, the Ministry of Transport agreed to the inclusion of a bridge under the motorway at Westhoughton, to allow for a future interchange.
Further upgrading of the whole of the length from Glenburn Road to the M6 was undertaken in 1977 when it became a dual three-lane 4½ mile section of the M58 motorway.
Whereas traffic on the A59 passing through the interchange would normally negotiate the roundabout, it was found that this was causing severe congestion at peak hours.
