  Reference for M60 motorway - Search.com
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 the M25, the M60 is a complete circle; with the M25 the stretch over the Thames at Dartford is not 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.

As an orbital motorway, it is equivalent to London's M25 motorway, however, unlike its London counterpart, the M60 is a complete circle (the stretch over the Thames at Dartford is not a motorway, but the A282).
Between junctions 6 and 8, the motorway is being widened from two to three lanes in each direction, plus an additional two-lane collector/distributor road on either side of the main carriageways.

 M62 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This stretch of motorway is the highest in the UK, there is a marker at the highest point.
At the highest point of the motorway, the road divides into two to negotiate the hilly terrain, and a farm, built in 1737, is situated in between the two halves.
In 2007, the UK's first carsharing lane on a motorway is to be built from the M606 allowing passengers with more than one person in the car a fast track onto the M62 Eastbound at Junction 26, near Bradford.

 M66 motorway Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A motorway (in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand and some Commonwealth nations) is both a type of road and a classification.
Motorways are highways designed to carry a large volume of traffic where a normal road would not suffice or would be unsafe, usually between cities.
As a result, the motorway technically begins as soon as the escape route has diverged from it; for example at a grade-separated junction, the motorway starts at the junction with the exiting slip road, and the opposite slip road is also part of the motorway for this and the following reason.

 The Motorway Archive. M66 Bury Easterly By-pass
From an interchange with the proposed Yorkshire Branch Road which later, was designated the Lancashire-Yorkshire Motorway M62, the three mile section to a junction with the A58 at Heap Bridge was to be known as the 'Bury Easterly By-pass Southern Section'.
Designed as a motorway in the early 1970's, however, it was to have grade separation, restricted access, and a consequently higher profile, requiring the construction of retaining walls through the estate.
That part of Route 9, which was to be designated M66, terminated at the southern end of the Edenfield/Rawtenstall By-pass some two miles to the north, where the construction of north facing slip roads were to form, in effect, a split diamond junction.

 Pathetic Motorways: M63
I understand that all along there had been the intention of the M66 joining the Bury area to Stockport, and the two ends of the motorway were built, with the intention of building the bit in the middle later.
The junction at Bredbury between the former M63 and M66 motorways which gives rise to the sharp bend on the now M60 was originally intended to be a motorway crossroads.
As already stated the M66 from the north was to continue south as the A6(M) to by-pass Stockport and Hazel Grove.

 M66 smash investigation continues
Police said they have yet to interview a 46-year-old man from Eccles who was driving a Mercedes wagon laden with non-toxic chemicals, when it narrowly missed a BMW car, then hit the rear of a double-trailered lorry, and shunted that into the back of a tipper truck.
The wagon driver had to be cut from his wrecked cab near to junction 2 at Heap Bridge on Monday afternoon and was taken to Fairfield General Hospital, where he received treatment for minor cuts and bruising.
Motorway police have since revealed that a dozen motorists have been reported after they used the hard shoulder to try to avoid huge tailbacks caused by the accident.

 House of Commons Hansard Debates for 17 Dec 1990
The news which came to light last summer that the Department of Transport, under its 1989 White Paper "Roads for Prosperity" was planning a motorway-- the Greater Manchester western and northern relief road--to connect the M62 and M66 motorways was greeted with anger, and incredulity by my constituents.
They are guesstimates about the amount of motorway traffic that there will be in 20 years' time ; guesstimates of the effect, or lack of it, of the proposed widening to four lanes of the present M62 ; and guesstimates about the consequences of the planned completion of the M66 between Denton and Middleton.
Because the northern side of the ring road is provided by the M62 motorway, that piece of motorway to the south of Bury has to satisfy two discrete functions : as a long- distance through route and as a more local distributor.
