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.

How can we improve road worker safety?
The Highways Agency can influence the health and safety of road workers by working in partnership with the service providers and stakeholders to improve training and performance, and by changing the operations on the network.
This can be achieved by: -
- Removing road workers from the live carriageway whenever possible and reducing risk exposure when they are working on the network, by consistently maintaining the highest standards of practice.
- Highlighting the importance of road workers and their safety to drivers (or road users) by raising awareness to influence driver behaviour.
- Improving communication methods on road worker safety issues throughout Government and supply chain forums to give a consistent approach to improve performance.
This work is in addition to the actions already in place for continuous improvement of health and safety management in the Highways Agency. The proposed actions will further improve the health and safety for everyone using and working on the network.
The Highways Agency will liaise with other Highway Authorities, so that they are aware of our approach and are able to actively support this initiative.
