Blyth Interchange is junction 34 of the A1(M). It is the southern end of the Doncaster bypass, and the northern end of the A1 Blyth bypass that opened at the same time, in 1961.
Until the late 2008, the junction was a roundabout; it is now a dumbbell. Works started in September 2006 and were completed by May 2008 - however, following a lorry fire just after completion, additional works had to take place until March 2010, when the scheme was finally handed over.
Before the M18 northwards opened, this roundabout was the main junction for traffic for Hull thus very busy. Once that opened, the direction of Hull traffic was diverted onto the A1(M). Blyth services was opened around about this time, replacing a transport café.
