Route

At Chadderton Heights

The A627(M) is a motorway that is essentially a continuation of the A663, forming a motorway link between the M62 and both Oldham and Rochdale. It has a short spur to the A664 at Slattocks, which is signed as A627(M), however has been displayed on a single map as the A6138(M).

Its junction with the M62 is a traffic-light-controlled roundabout. When the A627(M) was built, provision was made for a flyover to be provided at a future date, but this has never happened. The land to the south of the roundabout where the support pillars for the flyover would have been is now a VOSA weighbridge station. This emphasises the fact that the road is essentially two spurs rather than one road, despite the fact that it replaces the A627 from Rochdale to Oldham (now the A671).

The junction numbers were confirmed in a Highways Agency press release dated 9th Nov 2009 and now appears on some signage, although most maps still do not give the junctions their numbers.

Opening Dates

The complete 3.5 mile motorway from J1 Chadderton Roundabout, Oldham to J4 Sandbrook Park Crossroads, Rochdale opened on 7 January 1972. It included the 0.6 mile Slattocks Link Road motorway spur from J2 Slattocks Interchange to A664 Rochdale Road at Slattocks.
