Church Lane, Thorley on the outskirts of Bishop's Stortford. This is where the road will pass over the A1184.

Church Lane, Thorley on the outskirts of Bishop's Stortford after construction of the A1184 By-Pass. The road now passes over the A1184 here. The house on the left of the picture has survived the construction of the road.

Nice that they could use the old bridge to hold the new one uproadphotos wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 14:53 The view after completion of the A249 Sheppey Crossing (dual carriageway link to the Isle of Sheppey, Kent).

Re: Roads before and after construction
Thank you for these - another scheme I was involved in:-)roadphotos wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 11:22 After looking through my collection of pictures I've found a few of the A1184 at Thorley on the outskirts of Bishop's Stortford. This picture shows a field (future A1184) and a temporary route for construction vehicles.
If I recall correctly, one of the roundabouts had a photocell to control the streetlights located very close to one of the lights. This gave rise to a number of calls asking why the street lights were flashing.

Re: Roads before and after construction
Glad that you like the pictures, I have more to add. It's great to have them on here so that people can see them, all of my pictures have been in a photo album for years and nobody (except me) ever gets to view them.

The A289 Medway Towns By-Pass, Kent. The first picture shows a field at Grange, Gillingham, Kent. The second picture shows that what was a field is now the A289 Yokosuka Way.

Re: Roads before and after construction
I'm not sure how to add my before and after pictures to the relevant SABRE Wiki page but if anyone else on here want's to add them then that's ok with me. The only thing that I would point out is that I had to reduce the quality of the pictures (to 500 kb) to get them on here so although they are ok the quality has been reduced. Also I still have more pictures to add in the next few days.

The A289 Medway Towns By-Pass, Kent. The first picture shows part of a sports field off Cornwallis Avenue, Gillingham, Kent. The second picture shows how the A289 now runs through what was a sports field and the dual carriageway now has a roundabout at Cornwallis Avenue. The houses link both pictures.

Re: Roads before and after construction
The A289 Medway Towns By-Pass (before and after construction), Kent. The first picture shows a lane and a field (future A289) near Dillywood Cottages between Higham and Wainscott. The second picture shows the same view after the A289 has been completed. The house and trees link both pictures.
