A648

I had assumed that the A648 ended at the A52 Clifton Bridge, but a 1976 map tells a different story. The A648 carries on, on what is now the B679 to end at the A60/A606 junction.

Also note the Ring Road is here as the A614 and before the A6019 is here before the A453 took its place.

The A453 south of Barton-in-Fabis

View in 1972 of the A614 bypass of Nottingham being built, showing the Clifton Bridge being dualled at the Silverdale Interchange also known as the Queen's Drive Roundabout. View looks south from Lenton over the Trent. The junction is now the A453/A52.

Before the A453 was routed along Queen's Drive in 1978, Queen's Drive at this stage was the A6019. The A648 at that stage was what we now call the A453.

The Roundabout, as can be seen, was built first.

The former A453 in Nottinghamshire shortly after traffic was switched to the Thrumpton junction slip-roads. The new carriageway alignment can be seen in the distance.

A453 Road Widening, Mill Hill (C) David Dixon

The A453, east of the M1, is the major route between Nottingham, the M1 and Nottingham East Midlands Airport. It is one of the most congested roads in the country, carrying up to 30000 vehicles a day. Work on long-awaited major improvements to widen a seven mile stretch of the A453 between M1 Junction 24 and the A52 Nottingham Ring Road started in January 2013. The scheme is scheduled to be completed in summer 2015 and is planned to reduce congestion and make the route safer.

A new roundabout at Mill Hill will be sited to the west of the Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council boundary, and will provide a connection to the existing A453, Fox Covert Lane and Clifton Lane via a new link road. This road will provide a link to the new Nottingham Express Transit (NET) Park and Ride site, transporting people directly from Clifton into the centre of Nottingham by tram.
