M180 motorway

The M181 motorway links the town of Scunthorpe, England to the M180 motorway. Basically a spur of the M180, the road is virtually straight through its entire 2 mile length. It was opened in December 1978, at the same time as the section of M180 from junction 3 (A15) to the east side of the River Trent (the bridge was not opened until late 1979).

It begins just outside Scunthorpe, at the junction of the A1077 and A18. There is an out-of-town retail park, known locally as Gallagher Retail Park which offers a wide variety of food and retail outlets, and Glanford Park, the home of Scunthorpe United Football Club at this junction. At the other end, the road has a junction for the M180 east, while the main carriageway merges with the M180 west. It has no intermediate junctions. It is built to typical British motorway standards, being two lanes in each direction, plus a hard shoulder for its entire length.

The road is suffering from subsidence along the entire length in both directions. Rather than an undulating surface, the road has boneshaking bumps, which is uncomfortable in a car, positively awful on a motorbike.

M180 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (613 words)
The motorway runs east from M18 motorway near Thorne to the junction of the A15 and A180 roads near Humberside Airport.
The motorway bypass around Brigg was discussed for many years, but the Flixborough explosion gave it more importance, and was built three years later in 1977 as the second section of the motorway.
The motorway is built to dual three-lane standard for most of its duration (aside from a short dual two-lane section past Scunthorpe), and is pretty much straight and flat.
M48 motorway - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (248 words)
The M48 is a small motorway in Great Britain that includes the original Severn Bridge.
The M48 is anomalously numbered, as it is entirely to the west of the M5 motorway and its number should really therefore begin with 5.
Junction 1 of the M48 links the A403 and Severn View services at Aust as well as the B4461 to Alveston to the bridge, while Junction 2 serves Chepstow and the Wye Valley via the A466.
