M3 (Northern Ireland)

Lagan Bridge

Belfast

Ballymacarrett

The M3 is fairly obviously just the last mile of the M2, built in the 1990s when a new crossing over the Lagan was required. Not that anybody pays any attention to its number anyway.

What's new

A walk on the M621

Fancy a stroll? In 1972, the City of Leeds was about to open its new South East Urban Motorway and proudly showed off the achievement with a "walkabout" event.

Surprise! A new motorway

Appearing unexpectedly on signs in Lincolnshire last week, a brand new motorway has suddenly come into existence. And it's a weird one.

Imperfectly Odd: the Strensham Loop

For a while, the M5 ended at a 270-degree loop - but long after the motorway was extended, it kept on catching drivers unawares. But it left behind an unexpected legacy of safer driving.

Have you seen...

Scammonden Bridge

If you've ever been on the M62 across the Pennines, you'll know the one. It's the huge arched bridge 120ft above the road. And this is what it's like when you're standing on top of it!
