经运输部批准,大曼彻斯特Simister岛的大型高速公路升级将缓解M60、M62和M66的拥堵,后者每天处理大约90 000辆汽车。 A major motorway upgrade at Simister Island in Greater Manchester, approved by the Department for Transport, will ease congestion on the M60, M62, and M66, which handle about 90,000 vehicles daily. 项目重点是新建的自由通道,即皮克桥,取代信号控制的环形道,以减少延误和提高安全性. The project centers on a new free-flowing viaduct, the Pike Fold viaduct, replacing a signal-controlled roundabout to reduce delays and improve safety. 它包括一条从M60向北到向西的新两道线路连接,将M66向南扩大到18号关口的四个通道,将硬肩变成17号关口和18号关口之间的一条永久交通道,每个方向建立五道通道,并调整滑行道和入口栅栏。 It includes a new two-lane connection from M60 northbound to westbound, widening M66 southbound to four lanes at junction 18, converting the hard shoulder into a permanent traffic lane between junctions 17 and 18—creating five lanes in each direction—and realigning slip roads and portal gantries. Haweswater地下通道是一条人行道,每天约有70人使用,大多数是儿童。 这条人行道将通过照明、铺路和更好的维修进行升级。 The Haweswater underpass, a pedestrian route used by about 70 people daily—mostly children—will be upgraded with lighting, paving, and better maintenance. 这些改进旨在支持未来的增长,包括北方网关开发,并提供长期的旅途时间节约。 The improvements aim to support future growth, including the Northern Gateway development, and deliver long-term journey time savings.
