Holes Bay Relief Road construction

I have no idea how much of this was somebody taking the piss out of the Bournemouth area’s motorway envy, versus actual thoughts about roads that might be “needed”. A few of them certainly do match the proposals that were being made in the early 1990s.

Can you work out what Dorset Engineering Consultancy’s priorities were?

They did noise and air quality surveys and advised on safety at sports grounds, but I wonder what they really wished they could be doing all day… Motorway envy much?

The picture is of the A31/A338 Ashley Heath junction outside Bournemouth, an illustration that was apparently used to promote the project and the council, rather than the scare people off.

More on that junction later.
