Bridleway towards the A1

Jonathan Thacker

Alconbury Brook

There's water down there somewhere! What there isn't, but should be, is a footbridge crossing it. I searched but couldn't find it.

A1 turning for Woolley

Alex McGregor

A14 exit to B1043

Contrary to usual practice for motorways and trunk roads, this junction is apparently not numbered.

Northbound entry slip road to A1, Brampton

A1 - half-mile to the Woolley exit

At this point the A1 is a dual carriageway road of 1950s/60s design: no emergency lane (hard shoulder) and, remarkably for 2013, no anti-collision barriers in the central reservation. All will change in a mile when the road is transformed into a motorway.

A1 at the junction for Woolley

The complete absence of any collision barriers is noteworthy.

A1 at Matcham's Bridge

The A1 here is a straightforward dual-carriageway road, open to all vehicles, though the sign to the right indicates that no stopping is permitted on the main carriageway. A lay-by features on the left to enable vehicle drivers to take a break. The left-hand sign has been updated with additional text squeezed in to indicate that non-motorway traffic must leave at the next exit.

Alconbury junction A1/ A1(M)

All non-motorway traffic must leave the A1 at this point. Ahead is the A1(M).

The A1(M) begins again

One of several disconnected stretches of motorway bearing the route ID A1(M), this section runs from Alconbury to Peterborough. From being a rather ordinary and cramped dual-carriageway, the Great North Road expands to a full 3-lane motorway. One day it might even fulfil the 1950s design brief and be completed from London to Newcastle.
