 Junctions 9 and 10 of the M60 orbital motorway connect Urmston to the rest of Greater Manchester and the motorway network . A junction previously existed further east along the motorway under its old M63 designation , but was closed on the opening of the A6144 ( M ) in 1987 . A well known local landmark , opened in 1960 , is the Barton High level motorway bridge , which crosses the Manchester Ship Canal .
