Roads to nowhere?

Article Abstract:

Businesses in North-West England's towns are suffering due to traffic congestion, despite having a number of motorways in the area. Extensive infrastructure comprising of the M6, M58, M61, M55 and M65 motorways makes no difference to the bottlenecks which having a knock-on effect in other areas such as Northern Ireland and Scotland. A 300 million pounds sterling road expansion scheme in north Birmingham and developments to the M65 motorway will partially relieve the problem.

New links in the chain

Article Abstract:

There is little speculative building work going on in the Blackburn area despite the fact that motorway developments on the M65 motorway will be of enormous benefit to businesses. The M65 extension will link Blackburn to Preston and the M6 motorway in Dec. 1997, making Blackburn much more accessible. Land is currently priced at between 148,258 and 172,968 pounds sterling per hectare, but will become cheaper if the current lack of interest continues.
