The A465 over this length is a three lane single carriageway road and the proposals are to improve this to a two lane dual carriageway, with climbing lanes in some areas.
The improvement to the A465 is needed to upgrade the quality of service on this strategic route, and thereby improve the safety of the road, ease traffic congestion, and assist in the economic regeneration of the area, whilst ensuring that these objectives are pursued with proper care for the environment.
The road would be widened either by constructing the new carriageway along one side of the existing road (parallel widening) or by extending both sides of the existing road (symmetrical widening).

 roman roads/mbrown
For those roads that remained in use throughout the Roman period, the accumulation of some 300 years of repairs and re-surfacing resulted in an extremely hard foundation and very durable surface that enabled them to remain in use for light traffic for a very long time after the end of Roman government in AD 410.
Conversely, many Roman roads are not noticeably straight at all; the routeing of the cavalry patrol tracks in the Golden Valley, being a case in point.
Roman army tactical roads are characterised by their routeing in relation to the so-called 'military crestline' which is located at the highest line in 'dead ground' that cannot be observed by the supposed enemy from his side of the hill.
