For many years the M60 Manchester orbital motorway has experienced congestion at peak times, caused by the volume of traffic, the interaction of local and through traffic and the fact that junctions are very close together.

This video is about the the 7.5km stretch of the motorway between junctions 5 and 8 that has now been widened reducing delays and improving safety. Halcrow undertook all the detailed design.
