Nope. They were going at it hammer-and-tongs outside the Swavesey Travelodge at stupid o'clock on Friday morning, then later alongside the Crem at chucking-out time on Friday afternoon. Oh and SOMEBODY is putting up all those lovely fences which separate the eastbound carriageway from what is rapidly becoming the LAR on the north side of the new alignment.
Never argue with a conspiracy theorist.

Also interesting is that they've not managed to detrunk the old A14 bits to the north and west of Huntingdon yet...Nathan_A_RF wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 23:01 Stumbled upon this whilst looking at a map of roads managed by Highways England.

On the other hand, now it's detached from the A14, maybe it should be renamed as the A1(M) spur. Or something.

*whispers* It’s supposed to be the A1307.
Re: A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon "news"
That bit of road has been the A14(M) for many years, it was actually initially designated as A604(M).

From the SABRE Wiki: A14%28M%29 %28Alconbury - Little Stukeley%29 :
The A14(M) was a secret motorway (number not signed) near Huntingdon, at the top of a spur of the A14. The Scheme authorising its construction referred to it as A604(M), however, for administration purposes, it is the A14(M). Given that it linked the A14 spur to the A1(M), it would be a better number.
