About this road

The M60 at a glance

The M60 rings Manchester and squeezes orbital traffic, airport traffic and through-journeys from the M62 onto one loop. The Barton Bridge and the J12 to J18 shared section with the M62 are its recurring slow spots, and incidents on the loop knock on quickly in both directions. Live incidents, roadworks and closures below refresh every 5 minutes.
