M62 height restriction

Is anyone aware of the 15’7" height restriction that appears to be in place on the M62 Eastbound in the roadworks as you approach the M60 interchange? I say “appears to be” because the position of the signs might suggest it refers to the service road for the roadworks but it isn’t really clear. The only other thing I can think of is that they refer to lane 1 in the roadworks which uses the hard shoulder and therefore passes under the lowest part of any bridges or matrix signs. I was planning on taking a 16’2" double decker along that stretch on Saturday but might have to re-think my route.

Passed it today, and yes, it would definitely seem it’s actually for the works lane.

However, I brought a 16’2" double deck through there on Friday, so no worries.

glad you’ve tested it then!! :laughing: :laughing:

he took it through and now its an open top double decker! Lol

There was one that I saw recently, they’d loaded a hi-top transit van on the top deck of a car transporter, as I drove past it was on the H/S with the transit now a cabriolet!!

There’s a grain of truth in this actually…the roof has now got a hole in it, but don’t worry, it’s because they are being replaced, and some new ones have arrived, therefore they spent no money on the old ones.
