Cover: An autumnal view of the M62's route under the 660ft deck span of the Scammonden Bridge, which carries the A6025 over the M62's Deanhead cutting, belies the constructional difficulties caused here by ice in 1968-71. Attractive super-elevated transition curves lead to Hudderfield Corporation's dam (centre left) built by Alfred McAlpine Ltd under a £12.75 million contract which included 7 miles of the M62 from Outlane to the distant summit. Photograph by courtesy of Brifen Ltd, who had devised and supplied the safety barriers using tensioned wire ropes so as to curtail snow drifts. This section of motorway later won several design and landscaping awards. Readers may wish to compare it with Plates 289 and 428.
