A lot of green land has gone the journey for the sake of a bypass. Should have gotten China to do it as it would have been finished now, a lot cheaper. I am a bit curious about where you were standing while operating this amazing drone as I know the area well.
The A1 going over the River Great Ouse in Bedfordshire near to St. Neots with the Black Cat roundabout getting a massive needs replacing and a new bridge to pass over the River Great Ouse.
Its a disgrace that the A1 is mainly a dual carriageway road and parts of it not lit at night. If it went through Islington it would be the best road in UK
the vast majority of dual carriageways are not lit, the absence of lights means its a 70 limit unless repeater signs are there, like in this section where is annoyingly 50 until beyond newcastle
North of this work in Northumberland into Scotland, lengths of the A1 are single carriageway. Some of the northern dual carriageway sections, are at nearly M-way standard, but the rest is not.
South of here it’s motorway all the way to J34 at Blyth in Nottinghamshire except for a short stretch of dual carriageway between Ferrybridge and Doncaster.
It's a matter of population density, new roads get built where there is the most population, and it becomes self fulfilling, because people then choose to live and locate businesses where there is good infrastructure. That's why the UK has a massive economic bias to the overcrowded South East; other countries recognize this problem and spread it out. Blame the treasury green book.
that section between the Angel of the north to the junction of the A69 has been a bottle neck for 4 years some how i don;t think that it is going to improve as the area around the metro centre will no doubt be getting widened soon
I think it's Harlow Green which is intetsected by Durham Road, in the very sooth of Geetsheed driven it many a time but divvint live in the area. You get some canny views from there.
3 lanes each way at Coal House junction, 4 lanes each way on the hill from Coal House to Eighton Banks. 3 northbound and 4 southbound at Eighton Banks junction. 3 each way plus continuous slip roads towards the next junction. The drone flight must be getting on for a year ago, traffic has been using the new bridge in both directions since last November.
@@BJHolloway1 There are onlt two lanes, your eyesight is fine. Loads of sliproads come on and off the main road, which gives the impression of the left-hand lane being the 'middle' one. It isn't. It's the left-hand lane of the two-lane A1, and traffic on the A1 needs to keep in it.
@@BJHolloway1the video is at least a year old, and doesn’t reflect current situation at all. The new rail bridge does allow for 3 nb and 4 sb lanes, and has been open to traffic for quite a while now. They are about to start demolition of the old railway bridge and its approach embankments.
Awsome footage Dennis. 😊
Birtley a1 entry is a piss take up near Arnold Clark

This must have been filmed last year as the new section of bridge is now being used. The works aren't due to complete until Spring 2025 though.

Does your car not have headlights?

It seems that the bridge filmed is near the Angel off the North and that ain't in Bedfordshire 😂😂

WWhat's the new bridge going to dee, like?
who is the music by??
Why don't they build a park and ride at this site?
What’s the estate called near the very beginning with the tower blocks

Are they making this three lanes here or wider ?

@Paul_707 thanks for the detailed response
Dennis Takes a Flight Over The New A1 Road Bridge Being Built At The Team Valley Gateshead.
Where? Where? Where?
I can't see what is going on here. It looks like a piece of bridge over a rail line.
Good footage but zero explanation.
It won't make one shred of difference to the traffic flow, that's because 90% of the drivers on that section are glued to the middle lane.
Do my eyes decieve me? Middle lane implies at least three lanes???? I see only two. Do I need an unexpected trip to the opticians

They should have re-routed the road through the site of that ugly, rusty, Oscar with aeroplane wings statue and sold the metal for scrap
