Looking South down the M66 from Junction 1 the early morning traffic starts to build up. The rush hour seems to get earlier and earlier as this picture was taken at 07:00 just after sunrise. Image looking North. Construction of this section of the M66 started in August 1975 and opened to traffic in May 1978.
