A6 road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the A6 road in England. For other roads of the same name, and all other uses, go to the A6 (disambiguation page).

The A6 is a major road in England. It currently runs from Luton in Bedfordshire to Carlisle in Cumbria. As set out below (see Former route south of Luton), previously it started in Barnet in Hertfordshire and ran northwest through London Colney to St Albans and then due north via Harpenden to Luton.

Running northwest from Luton, the road travels through Bedford, bypasses both Kettering and Market Harborough, continues through Leicester, Loughborough, Derby and Matlock before going through the Peak District to Bakewell, Buxton, Stockport, Manchester, Chorley, Preston, Lancaster, Kendal and Penrith before reaching Carlisle.

South of Nottingham, the road is parallelled by the M1 motorway, and north of Manchester the M6 motorway approximates its course.

It leaves the ring road and crosses under the Midland Main Line, becoming New Bedford Road. It meets the A5228 outer ring road at a roundabout. On the outskirts of Luton as Barton Road, it passes the BP Streatley Express station on the left and Texaco Barton Road Service Station just after the Grasmere Road roundabout where it meets the Icknield Way Path. At the next roundabout, there is a Sainsbury's at the Bramingham Park Centre, which is near Bramingham Business Park and the Cardinal Newman High School. Leaving Luton, it enters Bedfordshire and the district of South Bedfordshire as Barton Road after a roundabout with Quantock Rise. There is a roundabout at Streatley, where the road becomes the dual-carriageway Luton Road. The one-mile £9.4m dual-carriageway Barton in the Clay Bypass was opened in December 1990. The former route is now the B655 (for Hitchin). It passes through the Bartonhill Cutting. It becomes single carriageway at the roundabout with the B655 at the other end of the bypass.

On the outskirts of Leicester the road becomes London Road. There is a roundabout with Florence Wragg Way, where the road becomes Glen Road. It passes a Sainsbury's supermarket at Oadby on the left. and becomes Harborough Road, then Leicester Road. Further in, it passes the BP Oadby Filling Station and an Asda supermarket on the right, before reaching the outer ring-road (A563), next to Leicester Racecourse. There is the Shell Oadby Garage just after the roundabout on the left where A563 and A6 join. It becomes London Road, where the dual-carriageway ends, and it enters the City of Leicester, passing the Leicester High School for Girls on the right. There is a crossroads, for Stoughton Road (A6030) at Stoneygate, and a roundabout with the Victoria Park Road (B568). It passes close to Leicester University and many take-away shops. To the right is Highfields, a largely immigrant community. It crosses the Midland Main Line near Leicester railway station. In the centre of Leicester, it is subsumed into Leicester's inner ring-road, the A594. Before this, it went via Charles Street, and before then, down Granby Street and Gallowtree Gate. Then around the Clock Tower, and along Belgrave Gate. The current route via the Inner Ring Road and Abbey Lane is also altered from the old route, which from Belgrave Gate went via Belgrave Road (along the Fosse Way) as did the old course of the A46 turning left at Melton Turn onto Loughborough Road and then into Birstall, where it meets with the current route at the start of the dual carriageway just before the A563 roundabout.

It crosses the Grand Union Canal and River Soar as St Margarets's Way. It becomes dual-carriageway on the northern outskirts of Leicester, and passes the National Space Centre in Belgrave as Abbey Lane then meets at a roundabout with the A563 outer ring-road entering the borough of Charnwood, then passes the BP St Pauls Filling Station on the left.

North of Leicester, as Loughborough Road it meets the A46 Leicester Western Bypass just south of Rothley and the start of the four-mile £43.3m dual-carriageway Quorn-Mountsorrel Bypass, which opened in October 1991. From here the road goes through Loughborough. although a new section of road from a roundabout with Ling Road (A6004) can be quicker and follows Epinal Way past the university, avoiding the many traffic lights in the town-centre. In Loughborough there is the BP Elms Park Service Station on the right, and close-by a Sainsbury's supermarket; helpful for vegetarian students at the internationally renowned local university. Leaving the town, it passes the BP Sandicliffe of Loughborough on the right. Just north of Hathern, where the A6006 (for Sutton Bonington) and B5324 (for Long Whatton) meet the road, there is the Esso Hathern Turn Service Station.

It passes through Kegworth, passing the Britannia Inn and becomes Derby Road. It joins the M1 at the extremely busy roundabout of junction 24, which is where the A50 Derby-Stoke Link begins. The road follows one of the former A6 dual-carriageway sections, passing Lockington, before meeting traffic from the south-bound M1 at junction 24a. South-bound traffic on the A6 here has to negotiate a roundabout and a set of traffic lights, which has numerous and lengthy hold-ups at peak times. The three-laned A6 multiplexes with the A50 for a couple of miles, and there is a junction with the B6540 (former A453) and crosses the Trent and Mersey Canal and River Trent, where it enters Derbyshire and the district of South Derbyshire. The A50/A6 passes a Welcome Break, with a Burger King and Shell garage on both sides of the road near Shardlow. The next section, the A6 Spur, was opened with the A50 in September 1997. The £10.6m dual-carriageway Alvaston Bypass/Improvement opened on 17th December 2003.

Elvaston Castle is to the right. The road enters Derby initially along London Road, then at Alvaston it meets the A5111 Derby Ring Road (Raynesway built in the 1930s) at a roundabout where the A6 is not signposted to the left; directions to Matlock are given for Raynesway (to the right). It passes the BP Island Service Station on the left at the next roundabout, and the ring road leaves to the left. It enters Crewton, and there is a roundabout with Ascot Drive to the left near a large B & Q, and the road exits to the right as Pride Parkway, which is related to the adjacent Pride Park business park and Pride Park Stadium, home of Derby County F.C.. Nearby to the right, the former Wilmorton campus of Derby College has now been demolished for housing. The former route of the A6 (London Road) is now partly the B6000. It crosses the Midland Main Line and meets the old route at The Cock Pitt, a large roundabout beside the Eagle Centre, close to the centre of Derby with a multi-storey car park in the centre. The road multiplexes with the A601, Derby's inner ring-road and the A52, crossing the River Derwent, then leaving to the left as King Street at an intersection on St Alkmund's Way near the former site of St Alkmunds Church, and passes The Flowerpot pub on the left. As Garden Street, it splits in two at an elongated roundabout surrounding the JET Allens Service Station, then, at a roundabout known locally as the 'Five Lamps', it becomes Duffield Road, passing the Broadway pub. At this roundabout, the older Derby inner ring road (Broadway - A5111) met the A6. North of Derby, there is a roundabout junction with the A38. In leafy Allestree, it passes the Shell Allestree garage.

It enters Buxton as Bakewell Road, passing a Morrisons on the left and meets the B5059 at a roundabout. It leaves Buxton as Fairfield Road, and heads towards Stockport slightly north-east to Dove Holes and to a roundabout with the A623

The four-mile £38m part-dual-carriageway Chapel-en-le-Frith & Whaley Bridge Bypass opened in August 1987. The former route is the B5470. The bypass ends with a roundabout with the A5004 for Chapel. It crosses the Peak Forest Canal and the B6062 leads to Chinley, then goes under the Buxton Line. At Furness Vale it passes the train station and the primary school.

At High Lane, the road enters the borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester.

There were plans in the 1970s for a bypass around Stockport, by a motorway initially known as the A6(M), which never was given the go-ahead, although many construction schemes were designed. It was kicked into touch in July 1998, in the distant early years of the Labour government. Due to build up of traffic in the Stockport area, the same scheme is now going to be built as the A555, to link up east of Stockport with the M60. In July 2006, it finally received the full funding to proceed. In Hazel Grove it goes under the Buxton Line, and meets the A523 (for Macclesfield) from the left and the A627 (from Romiley) from the right.

[edit] Former route south of Luton

The route of the old A6 south of Luton is now the A1081 for most of its length. In the initial road numbering scheme, the A6 started in Barnet where it joined what was then the A1 Great North Road. From Barnet the road went to London Colney, St Albans, Harpenden to join the current start of the road at Luton. At St Albans, the road met the then A5 at a crossroads: going north on both roads, the A5 arriving from the southwest, and leaving the crossroads northwest, and the A6 arriving from the southeast and leaving to the northeast. Nowadays that stretch of the A5 has also been renumbered so that the crossroads in St Albans is now A5183 and A1081. A6 is the longest road in England
