We have been waiting may years for this bypass.We have had to endure daily gridlock in the rush hours and it can take regularly over half an hour to travel two miles to get to the M67 .It takes longer in the evening returning when daily there is standing traffic on the M67 Eastbound which can at times be at least 1 mile long waiting to exit the motorwa onto the A57 at the Eastern terminal roundabout.In winter this has the potential of serious risks of an an accident as traffic is travelling at speeds up to 70mph towards the standing traffic.These hold ups are also occuring more and more at other times of the day with the ever increasing volumes of traffic.Please be mindful there are people against this bypass that do not live in the area and, like now in the past have strongly objected to it.
