The view (future A14) towards Godmanchester. This part of Silver Street is to be rerouted over the A14 via a bridge.

The view towards Godmanchester in 2022 after the A14 has been completed. The lane has gone and has now been rerouted over the A14.

These 2 pictures show the view (looking east) from Silver Street (near Godmanchester) before and after the A14 construction. The first picture was taken in 2016 before construction started and the second picture was taken in 2022 after the A14 has been completed.

While I was traveling around Dorset I thought I'd have a look at the A354 Weymouth Relief Road. I took the before pictures over 10 years ago but this is the first time I've been to Weymouth since the road was constructed. This picture shows the view near Upwey (between Weymouth and Dorchester) before construction of the A354 has started.

Another view near Upwey (between Weymouth and Dorchester) before construction of the A354 (Weymouth Relief Road). The road will run to the right of the houses.

A closer view of the hill (future cutting) and pylon near Upwey. The A354 Weymouth Relief Road will run to the left of the pylon.

The view after the A354 Weymouth Relief Road has been completed. The road now runs through here in a cutting and there's now a land bridge over the A354 for pedestrians.

This picture shows how the A354 (Weymouth Relief Road) was built through the only gap available between the houses.
