The Project

The A1 Trunk Road is a north-south regional route of strategic importance connecting the two sections of the A1(M) at Peterborough in the south and Blyth in the north. Most of this length is of a satisfactory standard but there were localised problems at six roundabouts.

The Highways Agency has replaced the following single level roundabouts with grade separated junctions to reduce congestion, queuing and delays in these areas and to improve a poor safety record:

  • Blyth (A1/A614)
  • Apleyhead (A1/A614/A57)
  • Markham Moor (A1/A57)
  • Gonerby Moor (A1/B1174)
  • Colsterworth (A1/A151) and the junction of A1/B6403
  • Carpenters Lodge (A1/B1081)
