M62 - Your Local History
A lot of finds were uncovered during the archaeological evaluation carried out for the M62 Junction 6 Improvement scheme so we thought it would be nice to provide an interactive website so you can see what we found.

How can we improve road worker safety?
The Highways Agency can influence the health and safety of road workers by working in partnership with the service providers and stakeholders to improve training and performance, and by changing the operations on the network.
This can be achieved by:
- Reducing road workers exposure to live traffic and lessening the risks to road workers when on the network.
- Highlighting the importance of road workers and their safety to the public by raising awareness and by the industry consistently maintaining the highest standards of practice.
- Improving road user awareness and responses by improving driver education.
This work is in addition to the actions already in place to improve health and safety management in the Highways Agency. The proposed actions will improve the health and safety for everyone using and working on the network.
The Highways Agency will liaise with the other Highway Authorities, so that they are aware of these developments and are able to consider the need and applicability for their road networks.
