M6/A580/A49 interchange, Haydock Park
Even before the advent of the M6 on July 2nd, 1963, this was a most important road junction. Here, the principal north-south route through Lancashire (A49) met the East Lancashire Road (A580), one of the great road building projects of the 1920s and 30s. Opened in 1934, the "East Lancs Road" was the pre-motorway equivalent of the M62 and arguably of more significance in economic terms for the cities of Liverpool and Manchester. More details of the A580 can be viewed here: http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/environment/historichighways/eastlancs/index.asp
The size of the M6 viaduct is difficult to capture due to contemporary levels of traffic at the junction, but this view gives some idea. The intersection was one of the first motorway roundabout junctions to have a through route added at grade for the secondary road - in this case the A580.
