The M67 is a 5-mile-long (8 km) urban motorway in Greater Manchester, England, which heads east from the M60 motorway passing through Denton and Hyde before ending near Mottram. The road was originally conceived as the first section of a trans-Pennine motorway between Manchester and Sheffield that would connect the A57(M) motorway with the M1 motorway; however, the motorway became the only part to be built. Numerous calls have been made over the decades to complete the motorway link between Manchester and Sheffield, the second and ninth most populous urban areas within the United Kingdom. Traffic between the cities is mainly divided between the Snake (A57) and Woodhead (A628) passes, which traverse the Peak District. Several plans were suspended and a proposal to link the two cities with a tunnelled scheme underneath the Peak District did not go ahead. In 2024, plans for the Longdendale Bypass, a road that will bypass the heavily congested section of the A57 in Mottram, were approved and cleared for construction.
