A judge has denied review requested by an anti-highway group on the A428 Caxton Gibbet to Black Cat Roundabout project.

https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/local-news/a428-black-cat-caxton-gibbet-26646594

Once finished, this project will create a 4 lane freeway from Milton Keynes to Ipswich. And all that will be needed is another scheme from Milton Keynes to the A34 in Oxford to create an Outer M25.

The British Government has cancelled all planned "smart motorways", which is where the breakdown lanes are converted into travel lanes, due to safety issues.

Remarkable that "gibbets" are still English landmarks even today.
