Scheme Outline
Improvement to the existing roundabout interchange (currently featured in Bad Junctions) by providing a bypass for A46 traffic. The finished layout will effectively be a three-level stacked roundabout but instead of building the A46 flyover across the existing junction, it will be built slightly to the north-west.
Timeline
- 1991
- M40 opens, adding additional traffic to the roundabout without providing the grade separation it was built for.
