M1 J10A Improvement 6 November 2015

The aims of the scheme are to increase capacity and reduce congestion.

The scheme involves upgrading M1 J10a to allow traffic to flow freely between the M1 Spur and the A1081 Airport Way. The M1 Spur will be widened to three lanes each way, as will the section of the A1081 between J10a and the Capability Green junction, with a lane drop to two lanes each way running through the improved junction.

A 50mph speed limit will apply to the whole of the improved section when the works are complete.

The 3D zebra

Some 3D paint tricks mean one London zebra crossing is no longer taking its job lying down.

What's wrong with the Aberdeen bypass?

The A90 Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route is the biggest road construction project the UK has seen for years - but there's something very wrong with the bridge over the River Don.

Opening booklets

In days gone by, new roads were often celebrated with a grand opening ceremony and the issue of a commemorative booklet heralding the exciting new highway. You'll find some of them here, complete with a glimpse of all that empty tarmac and a healthy dose of modernist optimism.
