  The Motorway Archive. M1 London - Yorkshire Motorway, M10 and M45
The 74 miles of the London - Birmingham motorway to Crick constituted the "first full scale motorway to be constructed" in the UK and was in fact the southern part of the London-Yorkshire motorway, the M1.
North of Beechtrees to Pepperstock, the motorway was also designed for the Ministry by Hertfordshire County Council and was also of concrete construction, but the carriageway was dual three-lane as is the rest of the motorway.
Bridges over the motorway were to a standard design and although they provoked some criticism of their appearance, perhaps because of the relatively 'heavy’ design from using reinforced concrete, this died down with time.

  M1 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The motorway is 193 miles (310 km) long and was constructed in four phases; the majority of the motorway was opened in 1959 and between 1965 and 1968.
The first section of the motorway opened between junction 5 (Watford) and junction 18 (Crick/Rugby) on 2 November 1959 together with the motorway's two spurs, the M10 (from junction 7 to St Albans) and the M45 (from junction 17 to the A45 and Coventry).
From junction 32, the motorway passes between Sheffield and Rotherham, passes to the west of Barnsley and Wakefield and reaches the original end of the motorway at junction 44 to the east of Leeds.

The main route from the M11 to the A1 in London was though, via the A41 Watford bypass to Berrygrove.
Two distributors were required because the capacity of the A roads was much less than that of the motorway, and the traffic therefore needed to be split up to avoid congestion at each end which would have rendered the motorway useless.
With the widening of the M1 between the M25 and Luton, the M10 is due to be downgraded to an A road, with collector distributor lanes linking directly to the next junction (no.8) for Hemel Hempstead.

 M10 motorway - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The M10 is a short (4.5km) section of motorway opened in 1959 to the south of St Albans, England.
It was a spur built to distribute the traffic heading south on the M1 onto the A5 (now A5183) and, via the North Orbital Road and the A6, the Barnet Bypass (A1, though the main route from the A1 to the M1 was via the A41 Watford bypass to Berrygrove).
With the widening of the M1 between the M25 and Luton, the M10 is due to be downgraded to an A road, with collector distributor lanes linking the M10 to the nearby junction 8 for Hemel Hempstead.

The M10 is a short section of motorway to the north of London.
The M10 was originally part of the M1 which was first designed and constructed as a London to Birmingham route.

The M1 was the first long-distance motorway to be built in the United Kingdom, and the first section that opened stretched from Berrygrove (near the current J5) to Crick.
To distribute the traffic onto the local road network at each end, two spur motorways were built: the M45 Dunchurch bypass at the northern end, and the M10 St Albans bypass at the southern end.
This is the spur at J10 to the roundabout with the A1081 at J10a.

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.
It was the first full-length motorway to be built in the United Kingdom, and was opened on November 2 1959 between junctions 5 and 18, along with the M10 and M45 spurs.
The alternate branch (M10) at the southern end was to the North Orbital Road (the forerunner to the M25) at Park Street (where the then A5 and A6 also met it).

I agree that it isn't much of a motorway, but if we don't call it a motorway, I don't know where the cut-off point between "spur" and proper motorway is. e.g.
Were it to lose Motorway status one would expect it to gain a new linkroad at the Hemel end so that non-motorway traffic could access the route (there being no intermediate interchanges) and, again, there are no publicised plans to do this (not to mention the unjustifiable cost).
As a motorway it would be paid for by the Dept of Transport, as the A414 it would be the local council needing to find the cash to pay for new road junctions, access roads, etc. --Vamp:Willow 11:16, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

1959, with motorway status being removed legally in 2004, and "on the ground" in 2008, when the M1 widening works are due to be complete.
This will be achieved during the completion of the M1 widening works in the area by simply adding an extra lane (with barriers, presumably!) from the M1 end of the M10 up to junction 8, thereby allowing non-motorway traffic its escape route.
Unfortunely, there were no other motorways for it to connect to (save the Preston By-pass, some 130-odd miles away...) and so if you can imagine three lanes of fast traffic suddenly hitting the 1950s network and coming to a grinding halt at either end!

A414(M) is a fitting number for the M10, as it is a motorway standard part of the A414....
Before those upstart motorways came along, the A3 was the London to Portsmouth route and the A30 was the London to Exeter (and points west) route.

The M1 motorway is one of the main north south transport corridors in England, linking London with the Midlands and the North, including Northampton, Nottingham, Sheffield and Leeds.
The status of this motorway will be de-classified from M10 motorway to the A414 principal trunk road, once the M1 Junctions 6A-10 Widening scheme is completed (current estimate end of 2008).
The future route performance of the M1 and M10 is dependent on improvements to their operation and maintenance that will begin to resolve the conflict between their functions.

In the north, the M45 diverted traffic onto the A45 to Birmingham; in the south the M10 dropped traffic at the A414 and A405, the predecessors to the M25.
Today the M10 is a bit redundant, forming a third of a St. Albans bypass.
