Rugby to Felixstowe
The route linking the West Midlands and the north of England to East Anglia and the container ports of Felixstowe and Harwich is incredibly important and incredibly busy. And yet it didn't exist in any coherent form until about 1992 when the A14 popped into existence.
Highways England's flagship new road was, to great fanfare, supposed to be a motorway - but it opened as the A14.
Nobody likes a concrete road. Promises have been made time and again to get rid of them all - but perhaps there’s another solution.
When it's an expressway, of course. Except that an expressway is, now, also a motorway.
Why am I all nostalgic about some street lights being replaced?
The Silvertown Tunnel is finally open for business. One question remains: what’s it for?
For the first time, we can share pictures of the pioneering experiment that lit up the Worcestershire countryside with enormous signs 61 years ago.
The engineering marvel of its day, much altered and maligned ever since: this is the original Mersey Tunnel in all its glory.
