The A1077M... in North Lincolnshire, it looks an awful lot like the M181, something is amiss...
This motorway was built years ago, but didn't exist until 2021 which makes for quite a bizarre story. And, enjoy it whilst you can as it might be that in the near future, the A1077M disappears as quickly as it arrived.
In this series I aim to explore what our motorway network is hiding. As we drive along at 70mph..ish...we simply just wouldn't be aware of what we're missing. This series will uncover some of the hidden secrets our motorways have to offer.

6000 new houses, on a flood plain, right next to a town where the biggest employer has been teetering on the brink of closure for years. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that plan, could it?

Its what they've done in my town over the last few years, and guess what the new houses didn't get flooded, however the houses over the road that have never flooded in living memory are now under water, despite all the promises that the new development wouldn't have an adverse affect on the water drainage in the area.

The location of this housing is madness. Six thousands houses on floodland in a town where few people actually want to live. The nearby towns of Barton and Brigg are somewhat more attractive and have land which is less likely to flood. I swear there was even a plan (before this one) to rehabilitate some of the former iron workings and build houses there. At least that would be on higher ground.

Great video, Jon, as usual. Building 6000 houses on Earl of Beauchamp's Warping is definitely a warped idea. Mind you, the developers could use the example of the Frodingham viaduct and build the houses on a flaming great embankment. (Could sell them as 'Views as far as Lincoln and Hull')

@kgbgb3663 11 месяцев назад

There's an old railway viaduct in South Wales that served a mine or an iron-works or similar. It was very tall -- over a hundred feet, judging from an old engraving. But they kept dumping spill or slag around it, and eventually it got covered up completely. One of the TV archeology programmes did a piece on it. I remember Tony Robinson getting all excited about having to dig _down_ about fifteen feet to find any sign of the viaduct at all.

@DarkVortex97 11 месяцев назад

The Trent is a river that very famously and frequently bursts its banks. The idea of building a bunch of houses directly adjacent to it on a region with a history of *intentional* flooding is entirely unsurprising of our brilliant great british councillors.

@AlpakaWhacker 11 месяцев назад

I wonder if upon completion of the southern roundabout, if the M181 may also cease to exist as at that point, it really wouldn't need a number all to itself however, as we've learned from this series, road planners and those in charge of numbering roads, quite often deviate from what you would expect and what is sensible :P

@BrunoAlexLUX 11 месяцев назад

This is probably the newest motorway that won't be the most recent in the future, either because we get a new one or because this one ceases to exist.

Ending: Harrison Ford when filming Star Wars: "George, you can write this sh!t, but you can't say it!" [some BS line about the jump to hyperspace] Nice woods in the middle of the roundabout. Very pretty. Hopefully a big enough junction that the obscuration of opposing traffic is not too big an issue. *EDIT* Actually, people might slow down because they can't see what's around the corner. And nobody can drive straight over it.

@shaun30-3-mg9zs 11 месяцев назад

Hi Jon, why they did not build a grade separate junction and keep M181 to it's end. But no we go cheap build a junction at grade and give the second stretch a new number to keep it a motorway. It's a bit like the junction with the M57 and M58 at Liverpool. These are clearways and should be free flowing from end to end with grade separate junctions and interchanges. As always a great video Take care 🛣🚦🛣😁👍

I remember a show called 'Football's Hardest Away Days' mocking Scunthorpe for building roads to nowhere. Eventually, houses were built off those roads. It's called planning for the future, I guess. The houses will happen eventually, but not in one go. What I'm more perplexed about is a new Scunthorpe United stadium being planned there, then a proposed expansion to Glanford Park, then another new stadium location and now hoping and praying we can have anywhere to play at all. It's been a bizarre few years for us.

@iamthebiscotti 11 месяцев назад

Hi Jon, how the devil are you? Have you ever done a video explaining how and why our roads are numbered the way they are? It's quite obvious for a number of them (M1 roughly follows the A1 route), but for others it's a bit baffling (the M5 and A5 basically don't ever meet). And then you have B Roads with seemingly an arbitrary assortment of numbers.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Scunthorpe, look at some of the shortest motorways in the country. At least when some idiot crashed into a bridge on the M180 west of Junction 3, the roundabout to nowhere was useful for diverting southbound traffic north onto the A18.
