A little way along, Oxford Road passes below the motorway. The Mancunian Way was conceived as a way to relieve the city centre of heavy goods traffic. At the time the road was planned in the late 1950s, Manchester was still a city of heavy industry. Today the elevated road is more of a commuter route, and I had to wait a long time to catch a lorry going over.
