		The M62 motorway is a west-east trans-Pennine motorway in northern England, connecting the cities of Liverpool and Hull, and passing the cities of Salford, Manchester, Bradford, Leeds and Wakefield.
		Concurrently, a section of the motorway was being built between Gildersome and Lofthouse, resulting in the demolition of a significant proportion of the village of Tingley to build the eponymous interchange.
		For comparison, the statistics for 1999 were 90,000 and 70,000 respectively, and the 2006 average daily traffic flow for the busiest stretch of motorway in the United Kingdom, the western M25 motorway (that is, between junctions 7 and 23), was 144,000 cars.

		The M62 motorway connects the cities of Liverpool and Hull, in England.
		The building of the M62 between Rochdale and Huddersfield, crossing the Pennines, is considered to have been one the most daring road construction projects to have taken place in England due to the nature of the terrain.
		At the highest point of the motorway, the road divides into two to negotiate the hilly terrain, and a house, built in 1737, is situated in between the two halves.

	M60 motorway at AllExperts
		The M60 was developed by connecting and consolidating the existing motorway sections of the M63, M62, and an extended M66.
		As an orbital motorway, it is equivalent to London's M25 motorway, however, unlike its London counterpart, the M60 is a complete circle (in London the stretch over the Thames at Dartford is not a motorway, but the A282).
		As part of the project, the A6144(M) motorway, which connected to the M60 at junction 8, was downgraded and lost its motorway status.

		The solution under construction is to divert the canal behind the nearby farm buildings and through an existing farm access tunnel.
		As the motorway is climbing steeply at this point, there will be sufficient height.

		The construction of two trial embankments close to the line of the motorway at Moselden Height to study the effects of wind and snow on an exposed section of the motorway.

		Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott described the M62 as the `northern gateway' - a Tarmac road to riches for the towns that lay either side of its path across the Pennines.
		Anywhere off junction 22 and 23 of the M62 is seen as an alternative base where you can still probably get better value than equivalent areas on the eastern side of the moors.
		North of the motorway at Hebden Bridge the former Co-Op building in the centre of town has been converted into 23 apartments.

		In 1949 plans were in place for the Liverpool to Leeds motorway, which became the M62, part of which makes up the north part of the outer ring road.
		The construction of the Denton to Middleton section of the motorway was split into four contracts, the section running through Audenshaw being 'contract 1'.
		Other effects of the motorway work have been a new road, Moss Way, linking Audenshaw Road to Manchester Road, opened in 1998; the rerouting of Audenshaw Road to go over a bridge over the motorway; the widening of Guide Lane at the junction with Audenshaw Road and the closure of Lumb Lane to through traffic.

	M57 motorway Information
		Construction of the motorway was in 2 phases, with phase 1 being completed in 1972, and phase 2 in 1974.
		The M57 is one of the few motorways in England that does not connect directly to any other motorways - both the M62 and M58 are accessible only via a very short section of all-purpose road.
		The Highways Agency are currently planning improvements to the M57's junction with the M62 that would provide free-flow links between the M57 and the M62 east of the junction.

	Pathetic Motorways: M62 Stretford - Eccles By-pass
		OK, the original M62 was planned to be the the western loop around Manchester and Salford, which is now part of the M60, between junctions 7 and 13.
		Instead, the link from Liverpool (the South Lancashire Motorway), already in the planning stages would carry the same number as the route across the Pennines, meaning that a single number for a coast-to-almost coast motorway would be used.
		The M62 was only transformed into the M63 when the Trans-Pennine motorway scheme was part-completed in the early 1970s since it made better sense for the complete Liverpool-Hull route to take the number of the main A-road and become the M62.

		The coast-to-coast motorway across the north of England, this is the road that dares to cross the Pennines and link Lancashire to Yorkshire.
		The M62 Stretford-Eccles bypass opened around the west of Manchester in the early 1960s, and was gradually extended around the north of the city and then out across the Pennines, leaving a motorway shaped like a walking stick.
		In fact, the original plan was for a Liverpool to Manchester motorway numbered M52, but it was changed to a part of the M62 before opening to provide a coast-to-coast route.

		Now the M62 is in the vanguard of the movement towards road tolls, made more likely by the Road Transport Bill, which gives local councils more power to introduce them in their areas.
		At the ends of the motorway are the flatlands of west Lanca shire, bumpy from mining subsidence, and Yorkshire's East Riding, surrounded by recently closed collieries.
		Now the M62 is another sort of playground: of reservoirs given over to powerboating and windsurfing, and indoor leisure hangars with snow slopes, rock climbing and skating rinks.

		Unlike the Severn Bridge, the Humber Bridge is not connected to the motorway system; it was intended to promote the integration of the two banks of the Humber and their large-scale urban and industrial development.

		There were two persons in the Jeep traveling on the M62 motorway in the UK at about midnight Christmas Eve, myself and my niece who was driving traveling from Hull to Bradford in West Yorkshire.
		The motorway was almost deserted and to be honest I had to looked twice and the series of small lights that were traveling in front of the Jeep.
		Within mints the series of lights were traveling from the upward direction of the sky downwards in front of the jeep for the second time keeping the same distance in front and starting the series of left to right sweeps turning clockwise and then turning anti-clockwise.

		On the northern side of the M62 the subway is linked to Moor Bank Lane by a short open stretch of footpath FP 358, whilst to the south the path climbs a short slope and turns north-eastwards, running thereafter along the top of the motorway embankment before dipping towards Newhey.
		The motorway proposals are unlikely to affect the hydrological regime of the pond concerned (and thus the Mud Snails) and a planning condition requires their protection or relocation.
		Consequently it is not surprising that the stretch of the path to the south of the M62 is now in an appalling state underfoot, is virtually unusable to a large proportion of the public and is indeed little used.
