Construction phases

Initial construction phases

The M5 motorway was originally built as a four-lane motorway (two lanes in each direction). The middle section, Junction 4 (Lydiate Ash), in the north, to a trumpet junction with the M50, in the south, was built first. The southern end was called a trumpet junction because of its shape: a 270 degree curved bend. There were no other exits from this trumpet junction though room was left for an extension to the South. Lydiate Ash is the name of an area of in North Worcestershire, UK, to the south-west of Birmingham located in the district of Bromsgrove. ... The M50 The M50 motorway in England runs for twenty-two miles westward from the M5 motorway just north of Tewkesbury, to meet the A40 road and A449 road at Ross-on-Wye. ...

The M5 motorway was later extended, in the late 1960s / early 1970s, northwards from Junction 4 and Frankley service area was built. Much of this northern extension beyond Junction 3, from about Quinton to its junction with the M6 motorway, was elevated motorway built on concrete pillars. The northern extension was a six-lane motorway (three lanes in each direction). The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. ...

It was also extended southwards in the late 1960s to mid 1970s, through Somerset, to Exeter. The new motorway extension passed over the top of the original trumpet junction, which was then converted into a complete roundabout, now Junction 8, below the motorway. A new services area was also built nearby, Strensham Services; and the south-bound slip road links down into this roundabout. This southern extension was also six-lane motorway (three lanes in each direction). The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. ... The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, inclusive. ...

In the field of road transport, a road junction is a place where two or more roads either meet or cross. ...

M42 link

In the late 1980s a new junction 4a was built as part of the M42 motorway construction project. The route of the M42 was decided as early as 1972 but, due to planning delays, approval at the Bromsgrove end was not obtained until 1986.^[1] For other uses of the term M42, please see M42. ...

Widening the middle section

The middle section of M5, from junctions 3 to 8, was widened to provide six lanes (three lanes in each direction) in the early 1990s. During this work the Northbound Strensham Services was completely rebuilt further away from the new junction. Junction 7 was also remodelled into a roundabout junction.^[2] For the band, see 1990s (band). ...

Addition of crawler lanes

Now, because of the high volume of traffic in the summer, some sections of carriageway in Somerset and North Somerset have a fourth crawler lane; particularly where the M5 climbs up the side of hills. Somerset is a county in the south-west of England. ... North Somerset is a unitary authority in England, historically part of the county of Somerset but now administered independently. ...

The Avonmouth Bridge was converted to eight lanes (four lanes in each direction) in the early 2000s. Later, in 2005-6, parts of the M5 between Junctions 17 and 20 were widened to 7 lanes (four lanes climbing the hills and three lanes descending the hills); information boards were added and parts of the central reservation was converted to a concrete crash barrier. During this stage of construction the M5 became Britain's longest contraflow system,^[3] spanning nine miles between junctions 19 and 20, and stealing the M25's claim during the construction of the new Heathrow terminal junction. The M5 contraflow was said to be the most complicated ever built in the UK as the motorway is on a split level going around the steep hills of Gordano valley; meaning four lanes plus a additional emergency vehicle lane were squeezed into that section.^[4] Most of the contraflow had speed limits of 40mph and required six speed cameras to enforce the speed limit through the narrow lanes.^[5] Avonmouth Bridge The Avonmouth Bridge is a road bridge that carries the M5 motorway over the River Avon near Bristol in the United Kingdom. ...

Features

There are many notable features of the M5. The massive interchange, Almondsbury Interchange, between the M5 and the M4 near Bristol is one of them. Another is the Avonmouth Bridge that is often a bottleneck in heavy traffic. Beyond that are the split-level carriageways, as the motorway climbs the sides of the hills above the Gordano valley, between Portishead and Clevedon. Some of the road later on is in a distinctive pink colour due to the surface material used on the motorway.

The M5 follows the route of the A38 road quite closely. The two deviate slightly around Bristol and the area south of Bristol (junctions 16 to 22). The A38 goes straight through the centre of Bristol and passes by Bristol International Airport; whereas the M5 skirts around both of them, with access to the airport from junctions 18, 19 or 22. The A38 continues south from where the M5 finishes in Devon. The M5 is not a substitute for the A5 road which runs from London to Holyhead.
