The M62 crosses the Pennines between Liverpool and Hull and is the busiest east-west road in the north, shared by Manchester and Leeds commuters and a heavy freight flow between the ports. The summit section near Saddleworth is the highest point on England's motorway network and picks up weather closures that the rest of the route escapes.
