Roads before and after construction
I thought you'd like to see some of my pictures of roads before and after construction. I have a collection of before and after pictures of roads that have been constructed and I thought that I'd share a few of them. The first pictures show the A414 Maldon By-Pass before, during and after construction. All 3 pictures were taken from London Road, Maldon, Essex, The pylon links the pictures.

Re: Roads before and after construction
Was the Maldon Bypass built on a former railway? It looks like a trackbed in the before photo.
I've taken a few before and after photos myself. This is the A41 No Mans Heath. Do you have any more such photos? I'd love to see them, especially road schemes built before I got the chance to drive the old road.

How would you like your grade separations, Sir?

Re: Roads before and after construction
Yes the Maldon By-Pass was built on the line of the old railway. I have 3 photo albums of before and after pictures of various road schemes (mostly in the south east of England). I shall add more on here in the next few days.

The A505 Baldock By-Pass (before and after construction), Hertfordshire. The first picture shows a farm on the right and a house on the left, the second picture shows that the A505 now runs between the house and the farm.

Re: Roads before and after construction
Fantastic pictures - thank you for posting them.
I seem to recall seeing a similar montage of pictures for the construction of parts of the M65.

Re: Roads before and after construction
I dont have any myself but there is a nice selection of photos of the construction of the A19 and A66 through Teesside in the 1980's here.
