NationMaster - Encyclopedia: M62 motorway

The M62 motorway is a west-east trans-Pennine motorway in northern England, connecting the cities of Liverpool and Hull. The road also forms part of the unsigned Euroroutes E20 (Shannon to Saint Petersburg) and E22 (Holyhead to Ishim). The road is 107 miles long^[1]; however, for seven^[2] miles, it shares its route with the M60 motorway around Manchester. Image File history File links UK_motorway_M62. ...

The motorway, which was first proposed in the 1930s, and originally conceived as two separate routes, was built in stages between 1971 and 1976, with construction beginning at Pole Moor and finishing in Tarbock. The motorway also absorbed part of the Stretford-Eccles bypass, which was built between 1957 and 1960. Adjusted for inflation to 2007, the motorway cost approximately GB£765 million to build.^[3] The motorway is relatively busy, with a average daily traffic flow of 100,000 cars in Yorkshire, and has several areas prone to gridlock, in particular, between Leeds and Halifax in West Yorkshire.

The road passes the cities of Salford, Manchester, Bradford, Leeds and Wakefield. Between Liverpool and Manchester, and east of Leeds, the terrain of the road is relatively flat, while between Manchester and Leeds, the road crosses the hilly Pennines to its highest point on Saddleworth Moor (53°37′47″N 2°01′07″W / 53.62982, -2.018561), which is also the highest point of any motorway in Britain, at 1221 feet (372 m) above sea level.^[4] For other uses, see Salford (disambiguation). ...

History

Origin of the road

The origins of the M62 date back to the 1930s, where the need for a route between Lancashire and Yorkshire had been agreed after discussion by the respective highway authorities of the counties.^[5] At the same time, it was envisaged that a route between Liverpool and Hull was also needed, connecting the two ports to industrial Yorkshire.^[6] Lancashire is a non-metropolitan county of historic origin in the North West of England, bounded to the west by the Irish Sea. ... Look up Yorkshire in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Some years later, after World War II, the Minister of Transport appointed engineers to inspect road standards between the A580 road in Swinton and the A1 road near Selby.^[6] In 1949, that year's Road Plan for South Lancashire specified the need for the dualling and grade separation of the A580 road, and bypasses of both Huyton and Cadishead,^[7] and in 1952, the route for a trans-Pennine motorway, known as The Lancashire-Yorkshire Motorway, was laid down, with Ferrybridge chosen as the eastern terminus rather than Selby.^[6] By the 1960s, however, the proposed dualling of the A580 in Lancashire was considered inadequate, and there was "an urgent need" to link Liverpool to the motorway network.^[7] The route of the Lancashire-Yorkshire motorway was also considered inadequate as it failed to cater for several industrial towns in Yorkshire.^[6] When James Drake visited the United States in 1962, his experience with the Interstate Highway system led him to conclude that the Merseyside Expressway planned only to run between Liverpool and the M6, would need extending to the Stretford-Eccles Bypass, thus creating a continuous motorway between Liverpool and Ferrybridge (a link between Ferrybridge and Hull was not considered until 1964).^[8] Initially these plans were unpopular and unsupported by the Ministry of Transport, but nevertheless the scheme was added to the Road Plan in 1963.^[7] Combatants Allied powers: China France Great Britain Soviet Union United States and others Axis powers: Germany Italy Japan and others Commanders Chiang Kai-shek Charles de Gaulle Winston Churchill Joseph Stalin Franklin Roosevelt Adolf Hitler Benito Mussolini Hideki TÅjÅ Casualties Military dead: 17,000,000 Civilian dead: 33,000...

Construction

West of Manchester

Originally, the section of the M62 west of Manchester was intended to be a separate motorway linking Liverpool with Salford, but a continuous motorway between Leeds and Liverpool was deemed to be more feasible,^[9]^[10] known as the M52. Construction of the motorway between Liverpool and Manchester started in 1971, with the construction of a link between the M57 and the M6 motorway.^[7] Concurrently, a contract to link the M6 with Manchester was under way, which required the removal of unsuitable material and drainage of the land. This section was completed in August 1974, creating a continuous link between Ferrybridge and Tarbock. This article is about the City of Manchester in England. ...

Tarbock is a small township in the borough of Knowsley. ...

The section between Tarbock and Liverpool was the last section of the motorway to be completed, in 1976, due to the difficulties of building an urban motorway. In total, two viaducts, ten bridges and seven underpasses had to be constructed to secure the structural integrity of the surrounding residential area. The motorway, however, reached only as far as Queen's Drive (Junction 4), leaving the first three junctions unbuilt.^[7] Torontos Bloor Street Viaduct bridges the Don valley; road traffic uses the upper deck, rail traffic uses the lower deck. ...

In Greater Manchester

The first part of the M62 to be built was the Stretford-Eccles Bypass, which now covers junctions 7 to 13 of the M60.^[11] Construction started in 1957, and opened in 1960.^[12] // The M60 motorway is an orbital motorway circling the urban body of Manchester, a city in the United Kingdom. ...

Two separate motorways were planned, with the M52 running from Liverpool into Salford; the other, the M62, would link Pole Moor with the Stretford-Eccles Bypass.^[9] The section between the interchange with the Stretford-Eccles Bypass and Salford is now occupied by the M602 motorway. For other uses, see Liverpool (disambiguation). ... For other uses, see Salford (disambiguation). ... This page is a candidate for speedy deletion, because: it is patent nonsense. ...

The Eccles-Pole Moor section was opened in 1971.^[13]^[14] Of this, the first section to be built was a one-mile extension of the Stretford-Eccles Bypass to Worsley. Between Eccles and Pole Moor, sixty-seven crossings of the motorway were required, including seven viaducts and eight junctions.^[5] For other uses, see Worsley (disambiguation). ...

Between Saddleworth and Lofthouse

The first section of the Yorkshire section of the motorway was completed in 1970, between the county boundary on Saddleworth Moor and Outlane.^[1]^[15] The construction of the section between Saddleworth and Pole Moor was a difficult task, given the inhospitable hilly terrain, numerous peat bogs, and undesirable weather conditions. To build this section of motorway, twelve million cubic yards of material was moved, eight million of which were solid rock. 650,000 cubic yards of this material was peat, which had to be cut from the rock strata and was eventually deposited on hillsides adjacent to the motorway. In addition to the problems caused by removal of the material, the geology of the moors resulted in the engineers needing to split the carriageways for three-quarters of a mile in the middle of this section, sparing Stott Hall Farm from demolition.^[15]^[16] Two notable bridge constructions were the bridge carrying the Pennine Way, which is curved downwards with 85 foot long cantilevers, and Scammonden Bridge, often called the longest single-span non-suspension bridge in Britain,^[17] which carries a B road 120 feet above the motorway.^[15] The mile-long section between Pole Moor and Outlane suffered fewer problems, with the summer weather being satisfactory.^[18] Concurrently, a section of the motorway was being built between Gildersome and Lofthouse,^[1] resulting in the demolition of a significant proportion of the village of Tingley to build the eponymous interchange.

Between the M1 and A1

Two contracts were awarded for the section of the M62 between Lofthouse and Ferrybridge in 1972, and both were completed in 1974.^[19]^[20] On the first contract, care was needed at the crossing of the River Calder due to the alluvial bedrock, while, on the second, precautions were taken as the length was built on old coal mine workings.

East of Ferrybridge

The sections between Ferrybridge and North Cave were of the last sections of the motorway to be conceived^[8] and built.^[13] One of the most notable features is the bridge crossing the River Ouse west of Goole, a structure nearly one mile long, rising to thirty meters above ground level, which commenced construction in January 1973.

The bridge was delayed due to "steel supplies [being] a chronic headache"^[21] and a partial collapse of the framework, caused by bolts joining a cross-beam to a trestle shearing.^[8] The problems with the Ouse Bridge pushed the opening of the whole section east of Goole back to May 1976.^[13]^[8] For other uses, see Goole (disambiguation). ...

Development after opening

After its completion, the M62 experienced no major changes until 2000, when the section of the M62 between Eccles Interchange and Simister Interchange (junctions 12 to 18) was renamed to the M60^[22]. Since then, two new junctions were opened - in December 2002, the previously missing Junction 8 was opened to allow access to the A574 and a new retail park.^[23], while in January 2006, Junction 32a was opened, to link the motorway with the recently upgraded A1(M)^[24]. The UK's first car-sharing lane on a motorway is planned to be opened at Junction 26, allowing any eastbound traffic from the M606 with more than one occupant to use the lane,^[25], while a proposal to widen the motorway to four lanes between Junctions 25 and 28 to reduce congestion is in the planning stage.^[26] Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

Stott Hall Farm

On Windy Hill, near the highest point of the motorway, the road divides into two to negotiate the hilly terrain, and Stott Hall Farm (53°38′30″N 1°57′08″W / 53.641599, -1.952222), and its 18th-century cottage, is situated in between the two halves.^[16]^[28]^[29]. The road forks around the farm for engineering reasons, though a local myth persists that the road had to be split because the owners refused to sell the land during its construction.^[16] The farm is often nicknamed as "the Little House on the Prairie".^[16] An urban legend or urban myth is similar to a modern folklore consisting of stories often thought to be factual by those circulating them. ...

Impact upon culture

The M62 motorway is mentioned in a number of songs. One of the earliest songs is "Driving Away From Home (Jim's Tune)" by It's Immaterial, a 1986 song which described the motorway as a way of getting to Manchester from the band's hometown of Liverpool^[30]. "The Snake", a song from the album Secrets by The Human League, discusses the road as an alternative route to Hyde from the Snake Pass, the main subject of the song, and also suggests the A628 as another alternative^[31]. Its Immaterial were a band from Liverpool, England, who were best known for their 1986 single Driving Away From Home (Jims Tune), which reached number 18 in the UK Singles Chart [1]. // The band consisted of John Campbell on vocals, and Jarvis Whitehead playing guitar and keyboards. ...

More generally, "It's Grim Up North", by The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, released in 1991, consisted of a list of towns and cities in the "grim North", in addition to the motorway itself^[32]. Doves named a song after the M62 on their 2002 album The Last Broadcast, which is stated to have been recorded "under the M62 flyover at Northenden"^[33]^[34]. "The Man Who Lives On The M62" by John Shuttleworth and "Tradition" by Kathryn Williams refer not to the motorway itself but to Stott Hall Farm. Shuttleworth compares his emotions of sorrow and to those of the inhabitants of the farm^[35], while Williams uses the urban legend of the owner's refusal to sell the farm as an example of tradition^[36].

Traffic

The M62, in 2006, had a average daily traffic flow of 100,000 cars east of the Pennines, and 78,000 cars west of the Pennines.^[38] The border between the two areas is defined to be the West Yorkshire/Lancashire border at Junction 22. For comparison, the statistics for 1999 were 90,000 and 70,000 respectively,^[39] and the 2006 average daily traffic flow for the busiest stretch of motorway in the United Kingdom, the western M25 motorway (that is, between junctions 7 and 23), was 144,000 cars.^[38] Due to the high traffic flow in the area, the M62 between Halifax and Gildersome is one of the most congested roads in Britain,^[40] slowing to regular gridlock at Junction 27.^[41] Image File history File links M62_traffic_statistics. ...

Route

In addition to passing Warrington, Manchester, Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford, Leeds and Wakefield, the towns of Huyton, St Helens, Widnes, Bury, Rochdale, Dewsbury, Pontefract, Selby and Goole are designated as primary destinations along the road. The road is a terminus to two motorways: the M57 motorway near Prescot and the M18 motorway near Rawcliffe; and has four spur routes: the M602 motorway, which serves Manchester, the A627(M) motorway, which serves Oldham, the M606 motorway, which serves Bradford, and the M621 motorway, which serves Leeds.

The motorway starts on Queen's Drive, on Liverpool's middle ring road. From there it travels eastward to Liverpool's outer ring road, the M57. The route has three exits for Warrington: Junction 8, which also houses Ikea^[44], Junction 9, which interchanges with the A49 road, originally intended to be a motorway itself^[45], and Junction 11. Between these is Junction 10, which is a cloverstack interchange with the M6 motorway. The A49 near Warrington The A49 is a major road in England. ...
