Between 2003 and 2006 the M60 was widened between junctions 5 and 8. The section through the Mersey Valley was opened in 1974 as a 4 lane road, then designated the M63. The motorway is now more than twice as wide, with 6 lanes on the main section and a two lane distributor / collector road on either side. Photo taken from the new Sale Water Park footbridge.
