The M602 motorway is a relatively short motorway, leading traffic into Manchester and Salford by by-passing the suburban town of Eccles. The United Kingdom Road Network is an extensive network of routes connecting its settlements The network is of varied quality and capacity Trafford Park is an area of the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, in Greater Manchester, England Salford lies at the heart of the City of Salford, a Metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, in North West England. Year 1971 ( MCMLXXI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the 1971 Gregorian calendar. Year 1982 ( MCMLXXXII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar) The M60 motorway is an orbital Motorway circling Greater Manchester, a Metropolitan county in North West England. The M62 motorway is a west&ndasheast trans-Pennine Motorway in northern England, connecting the cities of Liverpool and Hull Salford lies at the heart of the City of Salford, a Metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, in North West England.

The motorway itself was meant to be a part of a bigger scheme, the South Lancashire Motorway. To be designated M52, the route would link Liverpool and Manchester, and would be built to provide links to the growing UK mortorway network ^[1]^[2].

However, at the same time, the M62 was being extended north and east of Worsley, around the north of Manchester, and on to Yorkshire, to form part of the Trans-Pennine Motorway route. The M62 motorway is a west&ndasheast trans-Pennine Motorway in northern England, connecting the cities of Liverpool and Hull Yorkshire is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in Great Britain. This would be an upgraded version to the original plan of the East Lancashire Road, the A580, but would link onto the existing route at Worsley. It was decided that the Trans-Pennine Motorway be extended to Liverpool too, to provide a cross-country trunk route. The M62 was re-coursed to run via the route of the M52 between Worsley and Liverpool. This would leave a short stump of motorway between the M62 and Salford - this was first renumbered M64^[3] then M602, whilst the southern end of the M62 between Worsley and Stretford became the M63.
