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.

Don't Cross or Walk Along Motorways
The Highways Agency aims to make more people aware of the dangers of walking or crossing our motorway. We have launched a poster and radio campaign aimed at 16-25yr olds. Hopefully with our hard hitting posters, our message will come across.

Who we are and what we do
The Highways Agency is an Executive Agency of the Department for Transport. We are responsible for operating, maintaining and improving England's motorway and major 'A' road network.
This network is the backbone of the country and our roads carry one third of all traffic and two thirds of all goods traffic. The strategic road network itself is over 7,050 km long and is valued at £85 billion. It provides a vital service to commerce and industry and has a major impact on the lives of individuals and communities.
