The A6184 is a link road from Heywood Distribution Park at Pilsworth Road to M62J19 Heywood Interchange. It's function is to relieve congestion at M66 Junction 3 by providing a more suitable route to the HGV intensive sites at Heywood and Pilsworth.
There is some confusion as to the exact length of the A6184, as road signs imply it ends at the junction with the A6045 but OS maps show A-status terminating at Pilsworth Road.
