DN7 Hatfield Link
Doncaster Council has had a long-standing aspiration to build a westward single carriageway link from the M18/M180 junction (where I imagine the roundabout would become AP, if anyone remembers to do the admin) to connect with the local road network. This proposal has been mentioned in passing in various threads but as far as I know has never had its own thread. The scheme is now known as the DN7 Hatfield link or B1538 Hatfield Link.
It seems that it's finally moving forward. This notice has appeared in the London Gazette:

This led me to search for a plan of the scheme. See the second and third of the four links at the bottom of this page (ending in "App 1" and "App 2"):

Access from the motorways to the existing service area is already indirect and it looks as though the first part of the service area approach road would become part of the main new road.
Part of the route coincides with a possible route for the eastward extension of the Manchester-Sheffield route, discussed in other threads.

Logically motorway regulations should begin after the new roundabout, effectively meaning no change.

There's a B1539 just opened. B1530 was reserved by Sunderland Council (probably for what became the B1539), B1531, 2, 4 and 5 exist. I imagine 3, 6 and 7 have been reserved.
From the SABRE Wiki: B1539 :
The B1539 is the Queen Alexandra Bridge in Sunderland. It was created in August 2018, when the Northern Spire diverted the A1231 away from the bridge.
The B1539 starts at a large roundabout with the A1290, where it heads south across the Queen Alexandra Bridge over the River Wear. The Stadium of Light, home to
