	The Motorway Archive. M61. Manchester to Preston
		In 1963, Lancashire County Council was appointed as the Minister's Agent Authority for the preparation and design of the motorway and the statutory procedures were completed for three separate sections.
		The route of the motorway north of Chorley crossed the south end of the Lancaster Canal at three points.
		As the canal was already disused and rapidly deteriorating, it was agreed by the Ministry of Transport and British Waterways Board that the expense of bridging the canal was not justified.

	Lancashire County Council: Environment Directorate: Historic Highways
		The motorway at this point is on embankment with a maximum height of 35 feet and due to the poor nature of the ground it was considered necessary for the embankment to be constructed early to allow any settlement to take place.
		Whereas twenty of the bridges had to be constructed to carry the motorway over roads, railways, a canal, rivers, footpaths and streams, sixteen carry other roads over the motorway and four carry footpaths over the motorway.
		The bridges carrying the motorway are generally of one or three spans, whilst those over the motorway are mainly four-span, the elevations being necessarily asymmetric in a few instances.

	M60 motorway at AllExperts
		In 2004, a section of the northern M60 was the UK's busiest stretch of road, with an average of 181,000 vehicles per day using the stretch between junctions 16 and 17, although usually, the western side of the M25 motorway holds that honour.
		Between junctions 6 and 8, the motorway had been widened from two to three lanes in each direction, plus an additional two-lane collector/distributor road on either side of the main carriageways.
		Each motorway in England requires that a Statutory Instrument be published, detailing the route of the road, before it can be built.

	CBRD - Motorway Database - M61
		The M61 is there to connect Manchester to Scotland and the north-west by zooming up to the M6 - without it the M6/M62 junction would be very messy and the A6 at Chorley would be something of a headache.
		Its southern terminus and starting point, the Worsley Braided Interchange on the M60, is a contender for the most overdesigned junction in the country: it's a bit Heath Robinson to say the least.
		Considering there are no less than two places on the motorway's route that space was left for an extended M58 to connect in, the missing junction is too far north, and was probably intended for an improved access to Chorley and Leyland.

		The unique feature of this motorway is that it passes through a housing estate at Bury where there is no room for a vitally needed northbound uphill crawler lane.

		It can be found where the M61 and M65 meet, at junctions 9 and 2 respectively.
		It is neither part of the M61, nor the M65, despite signage where it claims to be both.
		The "M65" sign and Motorway reminder signs around the junction were only installed in 2001, so I can't explain why they decided to botch them by calling the roundabout the M65 - it's surely the M61...
