The M18 is a motorway in Yorkshire, England. It runs from the east of Sheffield and Rotherham to Goole and is approximately 26 miles (42 km) long. A section of the road forms part of the unsigned Euroroute E13.
Route
The M18 runs in a north east/south west direction from junction 32 of the M1 motorway to junction 35 of the M62 motorway. It passes east of Rotherham, southeast of Doncaster and Armthorpe, and west of Thorne. It meets the A1(M) at junction 2 (A1(M) junction 35)--known as the Wadworth Interchange--and the M180 motorway at junction 5.
Much of the M18 is a two lane dual carriageway, and carries relatively low volumes of traffic. However, the section linking the M1 and A1(M) is much busier and has three lanes in each direction. It then passes over the Wadworth Viaduct. To the north it then crosses the East Coast Main Line, and a until its closure and the dismanteling of the pit head gear, a large colliery could be seen to the south at Rossington.
Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme (FARRRS)
The Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme is a new road scheme[1] which will run from the M18 at Junction 3 to Robin Hood Airport, improving access to the Airport from the motorway network. FARRRS is due to open in early 2014.
History
- Junction 1 to Junction 2 opened in 1967
- Junction 5 to Junction 6 opened in 1972
- Junction 6 to Junction 7 opened in 1975
- Junction 4 to Junction 5 opened in 1977
- Junction 2 to Junction 4 opened in 1979
The M18 was originally to be part of the M1, but it was decided to route the M1 towards Leeds instead of Doncaster, and the routing of what would have been the M1 east of Sheffield became the M18.[2]
Junctions
Data[3] from driver location signs are used to provide distance and carriageway identifier information. The location sequence is a continuation of the M1 location sequence.
