[edit] Route

Heading north, the road starts as a 2 lane dual carrigeway on the A663 at Chadderton. It turns sharply left and passes west of Royton. It continues to its next junction, where it has a 1 mile spur. Although signed as the A627(M), a map exists showing it as the A6138(M)^[2]. After this junction it gains a third lane, before reaching a roundabout at the M62 junction 20. This junction has been designed to accommodate a future flyover^[3]. After crossing the roundabout the route continues as a dual 2 lane route, for another mile before turning sharp right to reach its terminal roundabout.
