Simister Island Junction Upgrade

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Major upgrades are underway at Simister Island junction — the chaotic traffic hub where M60, M62, and M66 meet. National Highways is transforming it into a five-lane interchange with a new link road, costing £255-296 million, aiming to slash congestion, boost safety, and unlock £1 billion in economic growth for Atom Valley. Expect overnight closures, noise disruptions from early 2026, and a finish by 2030 — temporary headaches for smoother, faster, safer journeys and thousands of jobs long-term.
