Completion of the Manchester Outer Ring Road

The M60 Denton to Middleton scheme, formally known as the M66, is one of the largest infrastructure schemes to be constructed in the north-west for a number of years. This scheme completed the ‘ring’ around the Greater Manchester conurbation and substantially completed the regional network in the north-west. This paper provides an overview of the scheme design and a summary of some of the elements that have been considered in delivering this large infrastructure project.
