Re: Roads before and after construction
The A413 after completion (part of the field has gone and the A413 runs alongside the railway in a cutting)

Re: Roads before and after construction
The A413 Wendover By-Pass a few years after completion. The hedge has grown and the road is now hidden from view in the cutting.

Re: Roads before and after construction
The A130 (before and after construction). The first picture shows a field near Howe Green, Chelmsford, Essex. The second picture shows that what was a field is now the A130. The tree and pylons link both pictures.

Re: Roads before and after construction
I remember this being built, especially the cut and cover tunnel. When it was just cut and no cover there was a terrible looking v-shaped notch in the skyline. I didn't realise at the time that there was going to be a tunnel and thought the issues of Twford Down were going to rear up again
Re: Roads before and after construction
When was the Wendover Bypass opened? I took some pictures 21 years ago and the verges were devoid of vegetation but it didn't look that new at the time.
How would you like your grade separations, Sir?

Re: Roads before and after construction
The A413 Wendover By-Pass was built in the late 1990s, I believe it opened in 1998. The HS2 is now being constructed next to it although the section at Wendover is going to be hidden in a cut and cover tunnel
Re: Roads before and after construction
There was a very striking Sabre PotM entry of the tunnel by night shortly after it opened.skiddaw05 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 18:25I remember this being built, especially the cut and cover tunnel.

Re: Roads before and after construction
The A130 (before and after construction). The first picture shows the lane to Patten's Farm near West Hanningfield. The second picture shows how the lane has become part of the A130. The house at Patten's Farm can be seen on both pictures.

Re: Roads before and after construction
Old Barn Lane and a field (before and after A130 construction) at Rettendon, Essex. Both the lane and the field have become the A130, the trees in the background link the 2 pictures
Re: Roads before and after construction
I haven't got a lot to add to this topic, because I don't know the roads in question very well, but I'm really enjoying the pictures! Thanks so much for posting them.

Re: Roads before and after construction
The view at Dagenham Dock Station (before and after the construction of the A13 and Channel Tunnel Rail Link). The A13 now goes over the railway here and the station building has been demolished to make way for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link which now runs alongside the railway.
