  The Motorway Archive. M58 Aintree to M6 Motorway
The section of the motorway between Melling and Glenburn Road was to have dual three-lane carriageways.
In the development of its design to accommodate the M58, allowance had to be made for the possibility of extending the M57 to the west, to connect with the A565.
Work on the two Contracts was completed during 1980, and the length of the motorway open to traffic was extended through to the junction with the A570 at Bickerstaffe in June, and to Aintree in September, of that year.

 M6 Junction 26 Wigan West
Further north an eastern bypass for Liverpool was built the M57, and from the northern end of this motorway a new motorway to Skelmersdale an industrial new town the M58 was later built.
The original plan was to take the M58 over the western roundabout on a flyover, likely then under the M6, then over the eastern roundabout on another flyover to continue eastward to the M61, the complex junction being used as an interchange between these two motorways.
So far the M58 extension was not been built and has left a needless complexity of roads where a simple one roundabout junction would have sufficed as we have at either junctions 35 or 36 further north.

It is often claimed to be the busiest motorway in the country, although the M25 may also lay claim to this dubious distinction, depending on the measurement used.

The proposal is to widen the road from a 3 to a 4 lane dual carriageway between junction 11a and junction 19.

 CBRD - Bad Junctions - M58-A577
M58 junction 5, the main junction for the new town of Skelmersdale from Liverpool's northern radial motorway, the M58.
Traffic joining M58 eastbound (from the loop ramps as you call them) has to suddenly give way [there really is a Give Way sign and markings!], with only about 20 yards of slip road, to traffic exiting the M58 at motorway speeds.
I was forced back onto the inside lane of motorway and luckily there was no cars approaching, I don't know whether there has been any accidents at this junction but feel they need to do alterations to this junction before someone is killed.
