M1 Widening

Maps of M1 Widening Submitted by: Jim on Apr 27, 2006

Did you miss the exhibition in Kirby Muxloe in early April?
Here's a chance for you to take a look at the maps that were available and to see how it will effect you.

Follow this link to see a map of the propsed changes to the M1 / A47 M1 overbridge.

The following link gives detail of how the additional lanes will be squeezed in to the North of the services that will take traffic directly to and from the M69 M1 South of A47 M1 bridge. This will have a major impact on the the residents of Leicester Forest East.

In effect we will presented with two lanes of 70 mph traffic that will have to be elevated from the cutting to the same level as the A47 to enable it to cross the M1 via a new bridge and then on behind the services to join the M69
