		The Contractor's chosen alternative construction for the motorway carriageways was for composite construction of 510 mm depth.
		The motorway line crossed two valleys and cut through a hill in between, with maximum cut height of 25 feet and maximum fill height of the order of 50 feet.
		When the motorway was finally opened all the way from Swanley to Folkestone the expected 80/20 traffic split between it and A2/M2 did not, it is understood, materialise but is nearer to 50/50.

	M20 motorway - Definition, explanation
		When the motorway was extended westwards towards London in the 1970s, it was renamed M20 and the A2020 reverted back to A20.
		In the early 1990s the stretch of M20 around Maidstone and the junctions there were revamped to allow for more traffic and to ease congestion, as this was a busy stretch of road.
		Since the opening of the Channel Tunnel the road between junctions 11 and 12 are occassionally used for the implementation of Operation Stack, should the ferrys or Channel Tunnel stop running.

	Proposed Re-Numbering of Northern Ireland Motorway and Junction Numbers - Northern Ireland Roads Site
		Given the fact that the M3 was built to urban motorway standard with reduced hard shoulders and tighter curves, and given that some motorways in Britain have no hard shoulders at all, there is no real argument against doing this with the Westlink.
		The motorways either in existance or being planned in the Republic of Ireland are the M1, M3, M4, M6, M7, M8, M9, M11 and M50.
		The M3 motorway could be extended onto the Sydenham Bypass when it is upgraded in a few years' time with junction 3 for the new Harbour Estate interchange, 4 for the City Airport and 5 for Tillysburn.

	One quarter of motorway drivers “an accident waiting to happen”
		The best motorway behaviour was found on the M5, where just 1 in 12 drivers were tailgating, followed by the M20 and the M2.

		The M20 is a motorway in Kent, England.
		The bridges across the motorway will be modified to provide three lanes of traffic at the roundabout, and local approach roads will also be widened, with new traffic lights to control traffic flows at the junction between the A292 Hythe Road and the London-bound M20 entry slip road.
		This closes that part of the motorway and uses the area as a lorry park until the ferries and Channel Tunnel are fully running again.

	The M20 Motorway (A249 Sittingbourne Road) Connecting Roads Scheme 1990

		When Phase1 of Operation Stack is put in place, the M20 coast bound carriageway is closed from Junction 11, Stanford, to Junction 12, Folkestone, and heavy goods vehicles heading to the ports are "stacked" on the M20.
		Using the QMB will stop this as it provides a contraflow on the London bound carriageway and allows all motorway traffic to remain on the road rather than be diverted onto the A20.
		We are also investigating increasing the capacity of Phase 1 and the deployment of the QMB on M20 junctions 10-11 as an alternative to Operation Stack Phase 2 which uses M20 junctions 8-9.

		The line of the road throughout Kent runs closely in parallel with the M20 motorway.
		The section between Maidstone and Ashford, was the only link between the two separate sections of the M20 for 10 years, during the 1980s until the fourteen mile missing link of the motorway was completed in the early 1990s.
		Prior to that the M20 terminated in Folkestone at what is now the A259 Churchill Avenue, proceeded up Dover Hill to Capel Le Ferne, West Hougham before entering Dover.

	M20 motorway noise
		With no end in sight for long suffering residents living alongside the M20 motorway between Ashford and Hollingbourne, Maidstone council has released startling figures about the noise that they will have to endure.
		The report concluded that motorways didn’t have to be such bad neighbours if the impacts upon people and the environment could be limited.
		Proposals to limit the environmental pollution from motorways included reduced speed limits in built up areas, adequately maintained balancing ponds, the use of ‘hairy leafed’ trees to trap pollutants and resurfacing to limit noise pollution.

	House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 7 Jan 2003 (pt 26)
		To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what decibel level was predicted on the M20, junctions 8 and 9, at the time of the public inquiry prior to the construction of the motorway.
		The factor not taken into account at that time was the effect of the concrete surface and the significance of this emerged as soon as traffic began to use it.
		The effects of the concrete surface on the M20 have been investigated along with 16 other roads built with this type of surface since 1988 and the Highways Agency is committed to resurfacing all of these as part of the Government's 10 Year Plan.
