£50,000,000 ‘dead-end’ motorway junction could finally be used

The motorway junction has been described as the “most expensive cul-de-sac in the country” because it carries almost no traffic.

The M49 road was built to connect the distribution center to the motorway and was completed at the end of 2019.

But over the years, traffic has ceased, leaving motorists traveling along the motorway junction at a standstill.

And trucks entering the industrial park have to pass through local villages.

However, nine separate conditions that prevented construction of the link road from starting have been lifted by South Gloucestershire Council.

The decision, made on November 1, said it had found it acceptable to remove the conditions – meaning there were now only two conditions remaining.
