Bramham Crossroads is junction 44, formerly junction 45, of the A1(M). It was originally, as the name suggests, a crossroads between the A1 and A64. The junction was grade separated with the dualling of the A1 in 1965, with it being converted to the current layout with the upgrade to A1(M) to the south in 1999.

A spur road provides free-flow links between the York side of the A64 and the A1(M) to the south.

History

Bramham Crossroads in the 1950s

Originally, as the name suggests, this was just a simple crossroads. At some point in the 1950s, a roundabout was added.

When the A1 was widened to dual carriageway in 1965, the A64 passed over the A1, also as a dual carriageway. Access to the A1 was by simple side turnings - this was quite dangerous as right turners had to cross the central reservation.

Historically, the crossroads was the site of a coaching inn, The Black Horse Inn - this was famous as a rendezvous point for Highwaymen. Nowadays, the only structures of note are the Crossroads Farm, and the derelict Little Chef site - this closed owing to the difficulty of access when the junction was remodelled in 1999.
