NationMaster - Encyclopedia: M50 motorway (United Kingdom)

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. It was built between 1960 and 1962, and is one of the few British motorways not to have been widened, retaining its original layout of only two lanes in each direction.
