It took 15 years of Hell before Junction 8 on the M62 was finished. The
Trafford Centre fares better, however the metro doesn't go there.

The Trafford Centre only received planning permission on the basis that the
Greater Manchester LRT System (Metrolink) would reach the Dumplington
complex *before* the centre opened, in order to reduce the traffic chaos.

Either they've broken the rules (perhaps this was changed after the public
inquiry) or they widened the M63/M60 instead?
