A580 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (170 words) |
 | The A580, the East Lancashire Road (abbreviated to East Lancs Road) was designed and built to provide better access to the Port of Liverpool for East Lancashire and Manchester. |
 | The road runs from Liverpool to join the A6 in Swinton, and was designed to eventually have triple highways, although in the event it was upgraded later to dual-carriageway: the section within the Liverpool boundary had always been thus. |
 | It achieved its name since it was originally intended to reach East Lancashire, although this was never carried out:that intended portion has now been superseded by the M62 motorway. |
