This 'Northern Section' of the M66 was completed and opened to traffic in May 1978.
Because of the nature of the rock in this area it was found possible to design the side slopes to a very steep angle of 4 in 1.
Blasting was required to excavate the cutting and a pre-splitting technique was specified to obtain an even appearance to the rock face.
