	M1 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The motorway is 193 miles (310 km) long and was constructed in stages between the 1950s and 1970s, with a further extension in the late 1990s.
		The M1 was extended in two stages to London, terminating between the junctions of the A406 "North Circular" with the A5 ("Staples Corner") and A41 ("Brent Cross Flyover").
		In 1999, the M1 was extended to join the A1 at Hook Moor, with the three miles of the old M1 renumbered as an extension of the M621.

	N1 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Most of the motorways junctions are not numbered, however of the four that are, two junctions share the number Junction 3 (the M50 and Swords).

	The Motorway Archive. M1 Aston-Sheffield-Leeds Motorway - Bridges
		Where the road to be carried over the motorway has a steep gradient it was found that the standard overbridge was not aesthetically satisfactory due to the extremely unbalanced side spans and the lack of parallelism between the deck soffit and the motorway.
		To correct the problem, the bearings were turned through 90 degrees, the span jacked down and the span slid sideways into its correct position, the bearings were lifted and put in their correct alignment and the span lowered into its final position.
		The M62 Motorway is carried over the M1 Motorway by a 4 span bridge having reinforced concrete multi-cellular deck.

		The M1 now stretches from the north circular road in London to the Leeds city boundary and is 187 miles long.

		Widening of the M1 motorway between Junctions 10 and 13 in Bedfordshire - one of Britain's busiest routes - came a step closer today with the award of contract by the Highways Agency.
		Apart from widening the M1 motorway, the M1 junctions 10-13 scheme also involves junction improvements and a climbing lane for heavy, slow moving vehicles between junction 11 and 10 heading south.
		M1 Junctions 10-13 widening: The next stage for the scheme is the Preferred Route Announcement in late 2005, followed by publication of Draft Orders in late 2006.

		Some 15km of the existing M1, M62 and A1 have fully flexible pavement construction with a continuously reinforced concrete pavement used for the central 15km between Stourton and Hook Moor, where subsidence may be expected over backfilled open cast mining areas.
		Both tunnels cross the motorways at a skew, with the longer of the two, under the M62, measuring 147 metres.
		The viaduct is a five span steel beam structure with a composite concrete deck - the longest span being 73 metres.

	CBRD - Motorway Database - M1 (Northern Ireland) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Completed in the 1960's and not changed much since, the Northern Ireland M1 is a two-lane affair that stretches to nearly 40 miles - the longest stretch of road of this standard in the province.
		Among these are two junctions for the M11, which would have started on the M1, headed around the north of Lisburn, and then crossed it again to go south, and one for the M8, intended as a southern bypass of Belfast.
		Perhaps the most astounding testament to those failed motorway plans is the footnote that the M1 is the only NI motorway that was actually finished to its intended length.

	M1 Motorway - Northern Ireland
		The M1 motorway is the main east-west route in the province, going between Belfast in the east and Dungannon in the west, also serving Lisburn and the Craigavon area and spawning the A1 route towards Dublin.
		There is a persistent but false urban legend stating that sections of the M1 motorway (between j9-10 and j11-12) were built straight so as to be used as emergency runways during possible conflicts with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
		The offslip to this roundabout marks the original motorway, with the now-demolished southbound carriageway suggested by the shape of the roundabout.

	M12 Motorway - Northern Ireland
		The M1 motorway from Belfast was originally intended to terminate at what is now Craigavon, but when the plans were changed to bring it to Dungannon, the M1's route was altered to pass a few miles to the north.
		The eastbound sliproads to the M1 were built in 1967 along with the M12 as far as the original B2 at Carn.
		Since it is dubious to have a roundabout in the middle of a motorway, this raises serious questions about whether the M12 really deserves to be a motorway any more (it would be okay if the roundabout were part of M1 junction 11, but it is given its own separate junction number).

		As a result, the Hungarian Government decided in 1991 to introduce extensive legislation for constructing toll motorways by way of concessions, to create a specific office within the Ministry of Transport to deal with concessions and to launch an ambitious program of motorway construction, starting with the missing section of the M1 motorway.
		As the construction of the remaining sections of the M1 did not pose specific problems (no big structures required, flat land with little ground risk, no particular archaeological risk, no specific environmental issues), the contractor was able to broadly accept these risks and offer a turnkey, lump sum and fixed price for the construction works.
		Of the ambitious motorway program outlined in 1991, only parts were realized by the end of the century and the early completion of other parts remains doubtful.

		The improvement of Junction 15A on the M1 motorway was a requirement of the planning consent for the Swan Valley Industrial area.
		In order to minimise disruption to the 112,000 vehicles which daily use the motorway the new underpass was tunnelled under the M1 using the ‘Jacked Box Tunnel’ technique rather than by conventional 'cut-and-cover' methods that would have involved diversions, lane closures and contra-flow systems.
		The motorway was monitored for movement throughout the construction and installation periods.
