A406 upgrades

"Dave Arquati" wrote in message ... The Government-approved scheme which was scrapped recently was to build a tunnel at Henlys Corner. Although much better for local residents than a flyover, it would have been extremely expensive and that's why the Mayor dropped it when he published his Transport Strategy in 2001. Rather than making improvements just for car users, it seems more appropriate to improve safety for motorists and pedestrians at the junction (given that the current footbridges are virtually unused as pedestrians don't like being relegated to bridges and tunnels). Where are the footbridges at Henlys? Incidentally, I have just designed a grade separated junction for Henlys on the back of an envelope. It's easy - all it needs is two perpendicular bridges and one somewhat skew bridge to give both the A1 and the A406 a straight run through. All turns would be allowed, including A1 w/b to A406 e/b, which is currently banned. Land take would be small, and gradients would be easy. Whether it could cope with the traffic flows is another question. Have you taken into account the topography and the geology? |
