Gallery:Dover
Here's my second nomination - the other end of the A2! :-) The Dover end this time, and not my picture - it was submitted by Brenley Corner, but since it is summer and we're all heading off on our holidays, I thought a photo of Dover Docks, the ferries and not one but 2 major roads (A2 and A20) would be apt.

All the other entries have been bridges, so here's one with a twist?

The A2 down to the ferry port of Dover. What a marvellous piece of road to wave goodbye to Britain.

This is a closer-in view of the Eastern Docks Roundabout. Note the two Escape Lanes on the A2 (coming down from the top of the picture). One to the left of the road and one that heads into the centre of the roundabout

Lined with B.& B's. I know, because I stayed in one of them. The Castle (not a B.& B.) is up on the hill, straight ahead.
Folkestone Road in Dover, with a pedestrian crossing. On the cliff in the background is Dover Castle.
A road with shops to the north side, from junction with High Street (left) and Priory Road (right).
Looking along Priory Road from its junction with Norman Street. The distinctive building with the clock is the town hall.

B2011, Dover, Folkestone Road/Elms Vale Road roundabout
The footpath in the foreground is part of the Saxon Shore Way, also the North Downs Way. Behind is the main road of the area, the A20 from Dover. Behind that is Shakespeare Cliff.
At its junction with Coombe Valley Road. Only the right hand carriageway of the road ahead was open to traffic as the left hand carriageway was cordoned off due to the laying of replacement sewer and gas mains. The converted mill building lies in Lorne Road.
On a clear day the views of the French coast and the channel are very good from this point.
This dual carriageway leads up from Dover and Dover Eastern Docks (and the ferries from France) towards a town on the outskirts of Dover. Then the road heads towards Canterbury and London.
This dual carriageway leads from Canterbury down towards Dover Eastern Docks in Dover Harbour.
Double decker bus 102 to New Romney climbing the hill out of Dover.
Cars just arrived by boat and leaving the port.
Viewed from the cliffs above the access road into Dover Eastern Docks is reminiscent of a Scalelectric track.

This tunnel was dug to allow access to Shakespeare Cliff for the abortive consruction of the 1970s Channel Tunnel, and it was used again to access the working site for the present Channel Tunnel at the base of Shakespeare Cliff. The spoil dug from the tunnel was used to create a new tract of land about 0.5km deep and 1.5km long; it has been designated a nature reserve and is open to the public for leisure such as walking or fishing The area is accessed through this same single-track tunnel.

Showing the A25 in its former role as a London Southern bypass. Didn't start at the A30 though.

Ways through or round it. The A12 route presumably meant for the Dartford Tunnel.

This track carries a bridleway and National Cycle Network Route 2 along the North Downs towards Folkestone, from Dover.
The Round Downs are on the left.
