M62 - Your Local History
A lot of finds were uncovered during the archaeological evaluation carried out for the M62 Junction 6 Improvement scheme so we thought it would be nice to provide an interactive website so you can see what we found.

Don't Cross or Walk Along Motorways
The Highways Agency aims to make more people aware of the dangers of walking or crossing our motorway. We have launched a poster and radio campaign aimed at 16-25yr olds. Hopefully with our hard hitting posters, our message will come across.

A Step Change to Improve Road Worker Safety
Background and context
The HA operate one of the busiest high-speed road networks in the world.
The HA network is one of the safest in the world.
In 2005 we had 5 road worker fatalities on our network. All were caused through operatives being struck by third party vehicles. We had 12 major injuries. We had 29 injuries causing absence from work for over three days.
The level of fatal incidents is more than twice that of any of the last five years.
In 2005, keeping the network open and safe became one of the most dangerous occupations in Great Britain.
The figures speak for themselves, but what about the... family, friend's colleagues, and relatives...
the situation is unacceptable. The Highways Agency and its partners must work together to improve road worker safety.
