Here are some examples that I know of:

The 'conversion' was a fairly major bit of civil engineering for such a
short piece of road, involving digging out two short tunnels along with
major reconstruction of several roads elsewhere in the town.


Comparing it to the OS New Popular Edition
http://www.npemap.org.uk/tiles/map.html#539,138,1 it doesn't look like
there was much work done to other roads. New roundabout at the
south-eastern end, some alterations to the junction at the western end,
new junction with London Road, that's about it. As a frequent user I
find it to be an excellent re-use of otherwise wasted space.
