How long is the M62?

The M62 is one of the UK's longest and most vital motorways, stretching approximately 107 miles (172 km) from Liverpool to Hull. Its closure today between junctions 22 and 24 highlights its crucial role in connecting major northern cities and facilitating transport across the Pennines.
