The Project
This scheme was developed and constructed to improve the busy junction 6 of the M62 by adding two direct connections, one from the M57 southbound to the M62 eastbound and the other from M62 westbound to the M57 northbound. The traffic using both new links no longer needs to use the junction roundabout, thus reducing congestion and delays significantly and improving road safety.
Improved, safer provision for pedestrians and cyclists was included in the new layout. This proposal was re-introduced into the trunk road Targeted Programme of Improvements (TPI) in 2001 - this is now known as the Programme of Major Schemes. The Secretary of State confirmed the preferred route in October 2003 and an exhibition was held in Huyton to present the proposals to the public.
The new Link A opened to traffic on 14 November 2008.
The new Link C opened to traffic on 12 December 2008.
One Year After Opening study
As part of our ongoing programme of Post Opening Project Evaluation (POPE) this scheme has been reviewed at one year after opening. The study compares the outturn effects of this scheme to the predicted impacts.
