sentences:  The section of route between the M1 Junction 30 and Sheffield was re-numbered A6135, and the route north-west of Sheffield largely renumbered the A6102.Similar to the A57, this section of the road is used to connect traffic heading to and from West and South Yorkshire with routes for the A1 to the south-east.The advantages of the A616 are that it is less well known than the A57 as a through-route and does not pass through large centres of population.
