	A66 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The A66 is a major road in England.
		From its junction with the A1 road at Scotch Corner, the road heads west, across the Pennines, through Appleby, Penrith, Keswick and Cockermouth, through the northern reaches of the Lake District, before arriving at the coastal town of Workington.

		The A66 across the Pennines was subject to a safety study in 2001 and as a result of this the Minister has asked the Highways Agency to work up plans for full dualling.
		Congestion on the busiest sections of the region’s strategic road network is one of the biggest problems facing the transport sector in the 21st Century.
		The A66 traffic flows are between 65,000 in the Tees Valley area to 13,000 west of the A1.

		The A19 is a major road in England, running parallel to and east of the A1 road.
		From here, the village of Eggborough has been bypassed in recent years, with the new road travelling from the roundabout near the power station (there are 3 power stations in a row at this point, running west-east: Ferrybridge, Eggborough, and Drax, with its enormous chimney, to the east).
		This road was improved in 1998 by widening from 2 to 3 and 4 lanes each way the four mile section between the Parkway and Norton.

		The Road Haulage Association is giving its support to the Temple Sowerby Bypass Action Group, who are holding a ‘Road Crossing’ demonstration on Tuesday 31 August.
		For many years, the RHA has been campaigning for the single carriageway sections of the A66 to the east of Penrith to be upgraded to dual carriageway and for the few communities which are still bisected by the road to be bypassed.
		RHA Northern Regional Director Geoff Dunning explains: "The RHA is a founder member of the A66 Completion Group and, from a road haulier’s point of view, finishing the job of dualling this road is vitally important.

	A66 dualling would be `misallocation of safety resources` (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A REPORT commissioned by Transport 2000 from road safety expert Professor Richard Allsop has concluded that the planned dualling of the A66 across the northern Pennines on safety grounds cannot be justified.
		The A66 is one of 33 trunk road corridors that are the subject of Government-funded Multi-Modal and Roads-Based Studies.
		The Government’s A66 Safety Study was intended to investigate ways of increasing safety on the road, which is a mixture of dual and single-carriageway sections.

		Beyond Keswick the A66 follows the River Derwent all the way to the sea, using the old railway line alongside Bassenthwaite Lake (the only body of water in the Lake District actually has the word "Lake" in its name) and on to Cockermouth, which is also bypassed.
		Today the A66 bypasses Penrith but orginally it started near the centre of the small market town and this what in previous centuries made the town an important stagecoach stop in fact one of the streets close but not on the former A66 route is called Old London Road.
		It was in 1984 that the villagers blockaded the road in protest at the Government’s scrapping of plans to by-pass this and the similarly afflicted village of Kirkby Thore.

		The 50-mile stretch of road is a mixture of old single carriageway sections interspersed with lengths of dual carriageway designed to modern day standards.

		But Transport 2000 has argued that it is possible to improve safety on the road with much smaller and lower cost measures.

		However, when the A66 ran to Hull, the A67 was the principal east-west route through southern County Durham.
		At Egglescliffe the A67 terminated on the A19, until that road was diverted further east, the original route being renumbered north of Egglescliffe as the A135 (way out of place — it should swap numbers with the A176 in Essex).
		Subsequent improvements have taken the A66 away from the original A67 route, notably in Darlington itself, where the original route through the town is now the B6279 (anomalously numbered as it is entirely to the east of the A1).

		The A66 is a trunk route across the Pennines that links the A1 and M6.
		Much of the route follows a Roman road, and although there are many straight sections, the rolling countryside can make overtaking dangerous.

	Dualling of trans-Pennine route could signal new roads binge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Government claims that dualling is necessary for road safety but Transport 2000 has argued that it is possible to improve safety on the road with much smaller and lower cost measures.
		A leading road safety expert, Professor Richard Allsop, has already said that proceeding with this scheme now would worsen “an already clear misallocation of resources” because it would take money away from already under-funded programmes of small scale safety measures such as local traffic calming.
		The A66 dualling will severely affect the River Eden valley, which is an SSSI and candidate Special Area of Conservation (SAC), which has international protection under the European Habitats Directive.
