The creation of the UK's motorway network in the second half of the 20th century facilitated a dramatic improvement in the mobility of people and goods and contributed greatly to the prosperity we enjoy today. "The Motorway Achievement" reviews many aspects related to the planning, design and construction of the 2000 miles of motorway network which connect the key cities and locations across the country. Volume three of the series presents detailed and comprehensive accounts of the construction of the motorway network, associated structures, and who was involved.Each of the ten chapters focuses on a specific region of the UK, providing a background history of the area and its roads, as well as the social, political and economic factors which played a part in the various decision-making processes. Illustrated with full-colour maps and photographs throughout, "The Motorway Achievement: Building the Network" tells a vivid story of massive human endeavour, which ranks among the greatest civil engineering feats of 20th century Britain.
