A Revolution On British Roads

By J. W. Taylor

INISTRY of Transport engineers are

M completing their plans for construc

tion of motorways in Britain which will revolutionise long-distance transport.

They have worked out a schome for con- structing new roads in 10-mile lengths, 'about. : 12 at a time, and this has already boen discussed with the Federation of Public Works Constructors.

The roads envisaged comprise a national network of motorways, some 800 miles in all, including routes from London to the industrial, Midlands and Lancashire; London to South Wales vin the Bristol area and the proposed Severn Bridge; links between South Wales, the Midlands and Yorkshire, and a mótórway from Hull across country to Liverpool, pleas

One new road at least will play its part in the unification of Europe: the improvement, by realignment and the provision of by-passES, of the direct route from Edinburgh to the Channel coast, as part of the European road network providing a through road (except for. the sen crossing) from Edinburgh to Rome.
