Good point. I know there are plenty of sections small roads that have
been just cut off and left to their own devices but are there any
large sections of A roads (or motorways) that were bypassed and
disused and just left alone?


I don't know, but IMO the Great Dunmow Bypass should be decommissioned or
turned back into a railway when it next needs resurfacing. The new A120 has
rendered it pretty redundant.
