Description:	M5, May 1977 End of an era. The long running saga of the A38/M5 finally comes to an end. The last section of M5, from J30-31 opens on Friday May 27, only just in time for that weekends Bank Holiday. The Exeter bypass becomes part of road history. The other delays last year, were due to the J26-27 section not opening until Oct 76, resulting in Wellington to Tiverton being the last rural bit of A38, -the 'longest lane'- to see heavy summer traffic.
