M60/M62/M66 Simister Island Project
Construction of a new free-flow link (northern loop) from the M60 eastbound to M60 southbound carriageways. Realignment of the M66 southbound carriageway on the approach to the junction. Construction of a new two-lane free-flow road from the M60 northbound to the M60 westbound to replace the existing single-lane, and widen the M66 southbound to four lanes through junction 18. Conversion of the hard shoulder into a permanent traffic lane between M60 junctions 17 and 18, providing five lanes in both directions. Other works will include improvements to signage, signalling and drainage.
