Gailey Island with M54.png
Gailey Island with M54 northern route. There were three route options for the M54 during the planning stage. Had the northern route been chosen it would have run parallel to the A5. A feasibility report from 1970 shows a potential layout for the junction with the M54 splitting in two with the northern part being an online dualling of the A5 and leads to M6 J12. The southern part freeflows to the M6 South. This design never got beyond the initial feasibility stage and later proposals were much simplified with only the link to the M6 south getting the underpass.

The M54 is a 23 mile east-west motorway in Shropshire and Staffordshire. It is a two-lane dual carriageway for the majority of its length, with sections of three-lane.
The M54 spur connects the M6 motorway near Essington, Staffordshire with the A5 trunk road at Wellington, Shropshire. The motorway forms part of the route to North Wales, roughly following the path of the Roman Watling Street and the A5 north-westwards, towards the port of Holyhead.

How M6 Junction 11 could have looked if a more northern route of the M54 was built. Plans also show an eastward continuation towards Brownhills as an upgraded A5, though documentation elsewhere uses the term "M54 Brownhills Extension".

Joining at J2 of the M54 - M54 Chopsticks sign still here for the moment but will move further west in due course.
20141010 075245-1-.jpg
You would have previously been on the M54 at this point, but as you can see the M54 is merrily running parallel to the right, and we are heading towards the new roundabout on the brand new A4510.
20141010 075247-1-.jpg
Nearly at the new roundabout now. We have to go straight on to join the M54, but where the no entry signs are will soon lead to the i54 development and a new JLR factory. You will also be able to access the bridge on the right of the picture!
20141010 080711-1-.jpg
Heading eastbound now, approaching the newly laid-out M54 J2 exit and the other section of A4510. The exit is much further west than it was, to allow for another new roundabout.
20141010 080746-1-.jpg
A clearer shot of the eastbound road rising to one of the new roundabouts on the A4510, with the M54 now the other side of the barrier.
2014-10-10 09.56.01-1-.jpg
Approaching eastbound the new northern-most roundabout on the new A4510. Unfortunately this is the clearest view I got of the new green sign proclaiming the new road number (just above the right-hand end of the chevrons) - i.e. not a very clear view!
2014-10-10 09.55.24-1-.jpg
We have arrived at the A4510 roundabout having exited the M54 eastbound. We can only go straight on at this point, but eventually you will be able to turn right to go over the new bridge and access the i54 technology park and JLR factory. You can just about see a glimpse of the green sign next to the unobscured 40 sign.
20141010 080832-2-.jpg
As we continue on the A4510 eastbound, the original diverge from the M54 can be seen.
20141010 080843-1-.jpg
We reach the A449 roundabout and the 'no chopsticks' sign, which means that up to this point we have still been under motorway regulations. That will of course have to change when the A4510 and the bridge open fully.

Gailey Island with M54 Northern Route 1.png
One of the junction layouts planned for the northern route of the M54 from around 1973. This has a new roundabout immediately to the south of Gailey Island.

Knowlbank Interchange approved design.png
Layout of Castle Farm Interchange, then known as Knowlsbank Interchange, as approved in 1973. This layout was to allow freeflow access between the M54 and the new town of Telford. Plans for Telford were soon scaled back so the design was changed to the junction that was eventually built along with the name.

Initial proposal for Castle Farm Interchange, then called Knowlbank Interchange, from 1970. This was replaced a year later with an improved layout.
