	M6 motorway
		The M6 motorway is a motorway in England, United Kingdom.
		It is certainly the longest motorway in the country and is often claimed to be the busiest, although the M25 may also lay claim to this dubious distinction, depending on the measurement used.
		The first part of the motorway, and indeed the motorway in the country, near Preston was opened by then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan on December 5, 1958.

		The first section of the motorway, and indeed the first motorway in the country, the Preston by-pass, was opened by the then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan on December 5, 1958.
		Prior to the opening of the toll motorway, this section of the M6 carried 180,000 vehicles per day at its busiest point near to Wolverhampton (between the junctions with the M54 and M5 motorways), compared to a design capacity of only 72,000 vehicles.
		The proposal is to widen the road from a 3 to a 4 lane dual carriageway between junction 11a and junction 19.

		The mountainous route presents some problems that most motorways don't have to bother with - signs here warn that the road is "liable to icing".

	CBRD - Motorway Database - M74
		At its southern end (or, strictly, the southern end of the A74(M)), the Highways Agency in England is plotting to extend the M6 to the border.
		When it does so the route will be continuous motorway right down to the M1 at Rugby, and the Scottish Executive will be required to kill off the A74(M) and M74 and renumber the whole thing as M6.
		When the upgrades went on the new signs have "A74(M)" and "M74" on stuck-on plates; it is widely assumed that if these were removed it would read "M6" underneath.

	Scottish Business Centre - Business Valuers & Agents
		The hotel itself which is steeped in character with wood panelling and log fires doted around the property has been lovingly cared for and restored over the years which is noticeable on first entering the property.
		With Crawford being situated so close to the A74 (M) motorway the hotel has historically catered mainly for guests who are travelling on business or tourists passing through the village.
		However, our clients advise us that they are currently in negotiation with a large contractor to provide 3 letting rooms from Monday to Friday each week for the next 2-3 years, as work is due to begin on development of a wind farm nearby to the hotel.

	A74 road at AllExperts (via CobWeb/3.1 planet1.scs.cs.nyu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		It was decided therefore rather than build the M6 all the way to the border with Scotland, that it would terminate on the A74, six miles short of the Scottish border.
		It is expected that by 2009, the M6 will terminate at Gretna with segments of the original A74 road being converted to an all-purpose road running alongside.
		However it has not yet been confirmed if the A74(M) will be renamed M6 as originally planned in the 1990s - an issue which will surely resurface given that the original A74(M) upgrade was equipped with road signs which could be easily converted to show "M6".

	SABRE - Road Lists - The First 99 - A74
		The former section is being converted to motorway, and on current plans it seems that the latter section will eventually be superseded by motorway, meaning that the A74 will presumably cease to exist altogether.
		Of course, the road carried a great deal of long-distance traffic between England and Scotland, and a two-lane dual carriageway with numerous at-grade junctions with local roads was never realistically going to cope with increasing volumes of traffic.
		The section as far as Abington has now been upgraded to the A74(M) motorway, with one of the old carriageways retained as a B-road for local traffic; north of Abington a brand- new section of the M74 has been built alongside the old road, leaving a curious dual-carriageway B-road (the B7078) along its original route.
