Looking east along the Upton bypass, opened 1975, where the A350 joins the A35 for a mile or so, before heading into Poole along the Holes Bay road. It used to go straight across into Poole via Hamworthy and Upton, until 1988.

Dating from at least the 1960's, this is a good layout, designed for this specific location, rectangular, with straight sides on the east and west sides and easy wide exits. Unlike today's standard off the shelf products, identical in shape -circular- and, only varying in size, with tight deflections at exits, especially for lorries.

A trip round the lanes brought me here, by the Crime Investigation Van. Location is between East Knoyle and the A303

The black shape in the field is one car. Another in between the fire engines, had its roof cut off. Probably an overtaking accident. The lorries may well have been the overtaken.

First pic of the new year and, the first since Nov 18. Looking north along the old A350, towards the A303, which runs along the tree line. Two white lorries can just be made out. The left hand HGV is on the bridge over the modern A350.

On the south side of the GSJ. Looking south at the start of the Poole conurbation. This has been the B3068 since 1988, when the Holes Bay D2 opened, bypassing Hamworthy and the Poole Lifting Bridge.

The Holes Bay Road gives the A350 a scenic entrance into Poole town centre skirting along the Holes Bay itself. This is a relief road built back in the 1980s bypassing the busy routes into town which all traffic used to enter through the northern suburbs.

This road is definitely future-proofed, all the bridges along this stretch can accomodate a dual carriageway, and there is enough space at our sides for one.

An attractive rail bridge.

The empty space by our side switches sides now.

Note how the style of bridge changes throughout.

A nice sweeping bit of road. After the bend, the future proofing disappears.

Holes Bay Road is a 50mph road leading from Holes Bay Roundabout.
Poole Lifting Bridge in Poole, Dorset, constructed in 1927. Situated on the western end of Poole Quay, the bridge provides a road link as part of the A350 road across a busy shipping channel between Poole's town centre and the suburb of Hamworthy.
At the junction with the A420.
The A420 heads off to the right into Chippenham.
With the Half Moon pub on the far side.
A major road junction in Shaftesbury, this is on the main A350 linking Poole with the M4 and Bristol.
