The motorway junctions and their approaches, and a section of the M1 on either side of junction 11 (north Luton), would have lighting columns replaced and remain lit. All lighting columns from junctions 10 to 14 were removed completely, apart from some on slip roads.
The M1 is straight and flat on the 6-mile (9.7 km) stretch between Junctions 9 and 10 and on the 4-mile (6.4 km) stretch between Junctions 12 and 13, and an urban myth exists claiming that these were to be used as supplementary runways by the United States Air Force in the event of a major conflict with the Soviet Union.
Part of this original M1 is now a spur to Dublin Airport, while another part between Whitehall to the Port Tunnel portals is now narrowed to two+one lanes (although still grade-separated) as a result of the Dublin Port Tunnel work. There are toll fees for use of the motorway between junctions 7 and 10, the section which forms the Drogheda ...
At this time, 37 miles of the M1, north of Crick, were open to Kegworth Interchange (junction 24) from December 1965, and the M18 was expected to be built in two years. The northern part of the interchange was known as the Thurcroft Link or the Thurcroft Motorway Link. [1] The M18 section opened on 21 December 1967.
The Catthorpe Interchange is a major intersection at the southern end of the M6, the western end of the A14 and junction 19 of the M1 near the village of Catthorpe in Leicestershire, England. It was developed in 1994 when the link to the A14 was added to the pre-existing M1/M6 junction by joining the M1, M6 and A14 to the country lane between ...
A number of other types of junction are also used on the motorway network. The M4/M6 and M7/M9 junctions use a variant of the fork style interchange. The M9/N10 junction in County Kilkenny and N40/N28 junction in County Cork are trumpet-style interchange while the M50/N7 and M50/N4 interchanges use partial cloverleaf junctions.
London Gateway services is the southernmost motorway service station on the M1 motorway – between Junctions 2 and 4 – north of London, England. [citation needed] It is between Arkley and Edgware on the west side of the road, has a hotel, and, unusually, has an early give way on its northern approach.
