Is anyone able to throw any light on this for me:

Do the plans still include a link road underneath the M60 towards/from Peel Green

Or has this been scrapped (due to costs etc), and access will be from the A57 only.

Just wondered, that's all.

Ta, Col

That's a separate scheme that feeds in to this so won't be on the planning application - it's the "Western Gateway Infrastructure Scheme". I'm pretty sure it's still happening though.

Thanks Iain.

That's the image, with Brookhouse Cemetery top left and Trafford Centre bottom right, it's the configuration between those that I (think) I was referring to.

So this will happen in due course, until then it's A57 only hey ?

JJ as I understand the situation the link road is still to be built unless someone else knows differently and it will be called the Smithy68 Highway.

Was very impressed as dirving home from work on Saturday around 13:30 they were still working and then again last night around 18:30 the machines were still out and grafting.

Must be on a timed job with penalties if they overun.

But all in all excellent progress that is tangible proof of progress.
