@HighwaysEngland Thanks, and I take on board some of your points. However, when you see the new section south of Scotch Corner, and feel how it has subsided, c.1 year, you have to question if the contractors are capable. Pls don't get me started on un-tolled roads vs Northumberland roads! ;)
After driving 700+ miles through France on seamless, smooth roads, I was embarrassed to arrive back in the UK. How can the M20, M25, M1 & A1(M)) even be CLOSE to being considered fit for purpose? @HighwaysEngland - please ask France how to build road foundations and surfaces..
