Bridge over Redbourn High Street

The disused railway bridge crossing Redbourn High Street, once the A5. The single line ran from Harpenden to Hemel Hempstead and was built by the Midland Railway. Passenger services ceased in 1947, but the full length of the line was not closed and removed until 1982. Nowadays a large part of the line is used as a cycleway and footpath, known as the 'Nickey Line'.

Nickey Line M1 tunnel

Since the widening of the M1, the Nickey Line path goes through this concrete tunnel, far less photogenic than the old 'original M1 style' bridge which is now encased beneath the roadway above.

The south end of the new Nickey Line tunnel beneath the widened M1 motorway. During the widening the old original railway bridge was lined and extended with this less elegant concrete tunnel.

Southbound M1 near to Redbourn

The M1 is a north–south motorway connecting London to Leeds, where it joins the A1(M) near Aberford. It was the first motorway to be completed in the United Kingdom. The motorway is 193 miles long and was constructed in four phases. Most of the motorway was opened between 1959 and 1968 but the southern end was extended in 1977 and the northern end was extended in 1999.
