This section of the A662 is called Manchester Road. Elsewhere on its journey through the Manchester area it has other names. The barriers in the road are keeping traffic away from construction work for the Manchester Metrolink, which will be extended along here. Just past the end of the barriers on the right is the Halfway House pub. On the left there is a Tameside "Welcome to Droylsden" sign. This marks both the beginning of Droylsden and the boundary of the Tameside Metropolitan Borough district.
