The M68 number was allocated to the eastern section of Manchester Outer Ring Road, before renumbering to M66 in the early 1970s and M60 in 1998. The number only appeared on maps and documentation, and not on signage, and at the M62 end it was signed as (A576).
The 2008 DfT road list describes the M68 as being "Temporary - reserved Manchester outer ring road (southern section to facilitate possible extension eastwards from Hazel Grove)"
