M602 Extension

There was a plan to extend the M602 further into Manchester, eventually meeting up with the A56 at the Chester Road roundabout, the same junction where Mancunian Way ends. Both motorways were planned to end at the roundabout at grade, rather than cross the roundabout to form a single motorway.

But what about if the two motorways were combined to form a single motorway? Running from the M60 to the A635, the route would form a handy cross-city route.
