The Wiki 1960s page says the bypass was opened on 3 September 1960 and the M50 on 28 November.Ritchie333 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 12:49 The first thing that leapt out is the 1959 revision, which shows the A40 Ross on Wye bypass complete, whereas my understanding is this was still under construction.

From the SABRE Wiki: SABRE Maps/Quarter Inch coverage project#Which Fourth Edition maps are actually available? :
