The A573 travels right to left between Wigan and Warrington, meeting the A572 Lowton - Newton road at the Wigan/ St Helens boundary. Note the new boundary sign, depicting the Earlestown Viaduct, which carried the Liverpool-Manchester Railway (the first purpose-built passenger railway in the world) over the Sankey Brook Navigation (England's first true canal of the Industrial Revolution).
