The '''A40''' is a majortrunk road which runs between [[London]] and [[Goodwick]] ([[Fishguard]]), [[Wales]], and officially called '''The London to Fishguard Trunk Road (A40)''' in all legal documents and Acts. Much of its length within England has been superseded by motorways, such as the M40, and has lost its [[trunk road]] status, though it retains it west of Gloucester, including its length within Wales. It is approximately {{convert|260|mi}} long. The eastern section from [[Denham, Buckinghamshire]] to [[Wheatley, Oxfordshire]] is better served by the [[M40 motorway|M40]] and its former function of linking London with Cheltenham and Gloucester has been taken by the M4, A419 and A417 via Swindon.
 
==History==
Line 68 ⟶ 49:
 
==Route==
===Central London -– Denham===
{{main|A40 road in London}}
In central London it is [[Holborn|High Holborn]] and then [[Oxford Street]]. At [[Marble Arch]] it joins the [[A5 road (Great Britain)|A5]] [[Edgware Road]] as far as the Marylebone Flyover to become [[Westway (London)|Westway]]; formerly (classified A40(M) as an elevated motorway; it is now an A-road. It takes the A40) tothen meetmeets [[Western Avenue, London|Western Avenue]]. For the greater part, this section is six lanes, otherwise four lanes. With two exceptions, Western Avenue forms a grade-separated motorway standard dual-carriageway between Paddington and the [[M40 motorway]]. The two [[at-grade intersection]]s are Gypsy Corner and Savoy Circus; both of which are [[traffic light]] controlled. At [[Denham Roundabout]], the six lane Western Avenue flows into the [[M40 motorway|M40]].
 
=== Denham -– Oxford ===
The A40 branches off the Denham roundabout to run as a dual carriageway. After the junction with the [[A413 road|A413]], the A40 follows the same route as the M40 as a single carriageway, passing through [[Beaconsfield]] and [[High Wycombe]]. Beyond [[Stokenchurch]] the road is much quieter; when meeting the B4009 and A329 those roads have priority. Approaching [[Oxford]], the A40 becomes a busy dual carriageway, carrying traffic from the M40 to Oxford and beyond. The road forms the northern section of the [[Oxford Ring Road]], crossing the [[A44 road|A44]] and the [[A34 road|A34]]. In Oxford, it passes the Thornhill Park and Ride, where the OxfordTube, The Airline to Heathrow & Gatwick, & Oxford Park and Ride buses stop.
 
===Oxford -– Cheltenham (M5)===
The A40 passes under the [[A34 road (England)|A34]], reverting to single carriageway for {{convert|10|mi}} until the dual carriageway pastjust east of [[Witney]] with a grade-separated junction. The dual carriageway finishes at a roundabout. For the rest of [[Oxfordshire]] and [[Gloucestershire]] until [[Cheltenham]], other than for a few short stretches, the road is single carriageway. A height of {{convert|820|ft}} above sea level is located {{convert|3|mi}} west of the A429 junction. Before [[Andoversford]] the [[A436 road (Great Britain)|A436]] breaks off to the west to try to take traffic away from descending into the centre of Cheltenham itself. The road travels through Cheltenham town centre along at least two parallel routes (neither is part of a one-way system: Sandford Road and Montpellier Terrace make up one part, Thirlestaine Road and Suffolk Road the other). Becoming a dual carriageway, it passes [[GCHQ]] in Cheltenham and the three-level stacked roundabout junction with the [[M5 motorway]]. In February 2015, the Witney Oxford Transport Group proposed the reopening of [[Yarnton railway station]] as an alternative to improvements to the A40 road proposed by [[Oxfordshire County Council]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Elvery |first=Martin |url=http://www.witneygazette.co.uk/news/11771480.Campaigners_want_new_railway_station_at_Yarnton_to_ease_A40_congestion/?ref=mr |title=Campaigners want new railway station at Yarnton to ease A40 congestion in West Oxfordshire |work=Witney Gazette |date=2015-02-05 |access-date=2015-02-12 |archive-date=23 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160923020043/http://www.witneygazette.co.uk/news/11771480.Campaigners_want_new_railway_station_at_Yarnton_to_ease_A40_congestion/?ref=mr |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.oxfordshireguardian.co.uk/bid-to-reopen-train-track-ahead-of-key-rail-summit/ |title=Bid to reopen Witney train track ahead of key rail summit |access-date=21 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160923041805/http://www.oxfordshireguardian.co.uk/bid-to-reopen-train-track-ahead-of-key-rail-summit/ |archive-date=23 September 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
 
===Cheltenham (M5) -– Abergavenny===
The A40 is the [[Gloucester]] bypass, most of which is dual carriageway. The junction with the [[A48 road|A48]] to [[Chepstow]] is at Highnam. For the remainder of Gloucestershire, and a part of [[Herefordshire]], the road is single carriageway until [[Ross-on-Wye]]. There it connects with the [[M50 motorway (Great Britain)|M50 motorway]], and forms part of the high quality dual carriageway between South Wales and the [[English Midlands]]. From Ross-on-Wye to [[Monmouth]] the road follows the [[Wye Valley]], an [[Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]], crossing the [[Wales–England border]] a mile east of Monmouth. Just west of Monmouth are twin tunnels; these are the only tunnels on the A40. Near [[Raglan, Monmouthshire|Raglan]], the A40 has a grade separated junction with the [[A449 road|A449]]. The A40 continues as a dual carriageway to [[Abergavenny]].

===Abergavenny -– Carmarthen===
At Abergavenny is the A40 junction with the Heads of the Valleys road, ([[A465 road|A465]]) and the A4042. Now the A465 becomes the primary route between the Midlands to the [[South Wales Valleys]] and Swansea; there is a dual-carriageway route to [[Carmarthen]] via the A465, M4 and A48.
 
The A40 becomes single carriageway and continues through Abergavenny, following the north side of the [[River Usk|Usk valley]] through the eastern part of the [[Brecon Beacons National Park]] until [[Brecon]]. At [[Bwlch]] between Abergavenny and Brecon, the A40 is {{convert|660|ft}} above sea level. The A40 is dualled for over {{convert|1.5|mi}} as it approaches a junction east of Brecon with the [[A470 road|A470]] north, which is the main north–south road through mid-Wales. Continuing as a dual carriageway, the A40 and A470 concurrent bypass Brecon to the south, crossing the River Usk here. At the western end of the bypass is a further junction with the A470 south. Beyond this point the A40 continues as a single carriageway, now south of the River Usk, and roughly follows the northern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. A height of {{convert|820|ft}} above sea level is located less than {{convert|1|mi}} east of [[Trecastle]]. In [[Llandovery]] the road crosses the [[Heart of Wales line|Heart of Wales railway]] and the [[River Tywi]]; the road, railway and river then run parallel until [[Llandeilo]], where the National Park ends and the railway turns south. The A40 continues west along the Tywi valley to Carmarthen where as a dual carriageway it forms the eastern bypass, meeting the terminus of the A48 at Pensarn. Here the A40 returns to being a primary route westwards.
 
===Carmarthen -– Fishguard===
At Carmarthen the A40 crosses the [[River Tywi]] twice with two 90-degree junctions and continues on {{convert|10|mi}} of dual carriageway as far as [[St. Clears]], where the dual carriageway ends at the junction with the [[A477 road|A477]] [[trunk road]]. Now the A40 is a mixture of 2 or 3 lane single-carriageway to [[Haverfordwest]] and [[Fishguard]]. This section of road is controlled by the [[Welsh Government]] (formerly 'Welsh Assembly Government'), which describes it as "one of the lowest standard sections of the Trans European Road Network in the United Kingdom".<ref name="WPCleanerAuto1">{{Cite web |url=http://wales.gov.uk/docs/det/policy/060825A40.pdf |title=Welsh Assembly Government |access-date=1 April 2011 |archive-date=10 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120410033148/http://wales.gov.uk/docs/det/policy/060825A40.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
'''St Clears to Haverfordwest dualling'''
There were plans in 2002 for a major improvement of the 23-mile stretch between St Clears and Haverfordwest which included upgrading to a dual carriageway; described as an extension of the national motorway network to the West Wales coast by virtue of the route from the [[M4 motorway]] being entirely dual carriageway.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/1885220.stm| title=Dual carriageway for west Wales| workpublisher=BBC News| date=2002-03-21| access-date=31 March 2011| archive-date=6 December 2008| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206105917/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/1885220.stm| url-status=live}}</ref> The £60&nbsp;million scheme was subject to a European Environmental Assessment. Within a couple of years, the project appeared to be dying a very quiet death, causing local newspapers to report it being an election stunt for the two marginal constituencies that would best benefit from the improvements. The following Welsh elections saw both constituencies change the party of majority. The political party at the centre of the row instead directed the project deferment to damning environmental statements by Friends of the Earth Cymru.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.foe.co.uk/cymru/english/press_releases/a40_safety_challenged.html |title=A40 dual carriageway safety claim challenged |access-date=31 March 2011 |archive-date=19 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100819123653/http://www.foe.co.uk/cymru/english/press_releases/a40_safety_challenged.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/briefings/proposed_a40_dualling.pdf |title=FOE Briefing |access-date=31 March 2011 |archive-date=20 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320085515/http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/briefings/proposed_a40_dualling.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> The scheme was officially scrapped in 2008 after a Welsh Assembly committee decided to abandon the proposals. Instead, it recommended upgrades to the existing route including bypasses around [[Robeston Wathen]] and [[Llanddewi Velfrey]] using a three-lane option. This was welcomed by the [[Friends of the Earth]], saying "The dual carriageway on the A40 would increase traffic levels, increase the emission of greenhouse gases, it would be harmful for the environment, it would be hugely expensive. That money would be better spent on improving public transport, on health, on education, there's no need for it. We think the assembly committee has come to the right decision".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/wales_politics/7765939.stm|title=A40 dual carriageway plan blocked|workpublisher=BBC News|date=2008-12-04|access-date=1 April 2011|archive-date=5 December 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205195820/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/wales_politics/7765939.stm|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
'''Whitland Bypass'''
The last improvement to the A40 on this section prior to the Welsh Assembly Government having the devolved responsibility for this road was a {{convert|4.1|km}} £8&nbsp;million bypass around [[Whitland]]. Constructed in 1994, the road started east of Black Bridge on the original A40, then running north of the town before to a new roundabout just west of Llain Cottage. The Secretary of State for Wales was asked a written question by [[Rhodri Morgan]] about adding a second carriageway to the Whitland bypass scheme, to which [[John Redwood]] replied "There are no proposals to add a second carriageway to the Whitland bypass. The design capacity of a single carriageway two-lane highway is more than adequate to cater with the anticipated traffic flows for the foreseeable future."<ref>{{Cite web |url=httphttps://hansardapi.millbanksystemsparliament.comuk/written_answershistoric-hansard/written-answers/1995/feb/03/whitland-bypass |title=Hansard |access-date=1 April 2011 |archive-date=20 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020183204/http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/written_answers/1995/feb/03/whitland-bypass |work=[[Hansard|Parliamentary Debates (Hansard)]] |date=3 February 1995 |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
'''Llanddewi Velfrey Bypass'''
Line 174 ⟶ 156:
 
'''Robeston Wathen Bypass'''
A new bypass has been constructed between Penblewin and Slebech Park making the road straighter and with a '2+1' road layout to help improve overtaking opportunities.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://wales.gov.uk/newsroom/transport/2011/110316penblewin/?lang=en |title=Welsh Assembly Government: Penblewin Improvements |access-date=1 April 2011 |archive-date=30 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330110008/http://wales.gov.uk/newsroom/transport/2011/110316penblewin/?lang=en |url-status=dead }} {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330110008/http://wales.gov.uk/newsroom/transport/2011/110316penblewin/?lang=en |date=30 March 2012 }}</ref>
 
Starting to the west of Toch Lane (approx. {{convert|2|km}} east of [[Slebech]]), the route travels eastwards for {{convert|4.6|km}}, passing {{convert|200|m}} south of [[Robeston Wathen]], and ending {{convert|0.5|km}} east of the village, just west of Flimstone Lane.
 
Construction started on the route in February 2009, with the works completed and the new road opening 1 March 2011. The road was built by [[Costain Group|Costain]]. The scheme was nearly £14&nbsp;million over the initial budget of £27.6&nbsp;million, eventually costing £41.4&nbsp;million. The Welsh Assembly Government explains this increase as being the result of inflation and land costs, saying the original budget did not include either, as well as additional statutory procedures, additional works following some design standards, and the increase in VAT.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-12756563|title=Over-budget Penblewin to Slebech Park bypass opens|date=2011-03-16|workpublisher=BBC News|access-date=20 June 2018|archive-date=1 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101070050/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-12756563|url-status=live}}</ref>

'''Fishguard Bypass'''
The Fishguard Bypass was planned to provide a more direct route with greater capacity to the Port of Fishguard at Goodwick avoiding the town centre of Fishguard. It was constructed during the late 1990s and opened in 2000. It takes the form of a three-lane carriageway on an approx. 10% gradient around the western edge of Fishguard. It runs from its highest point at Rafael roundabout 1&nbsp;km south of Fishguard town in a generally northerly direction to its lowest point at Windy Hall roundabout where it rejoins the old A40 route at Gasworks Hill. The bypass is concurrent with a section of the A487 trunk road with the A40 dominant.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/331547 |title=Fishguard Bypass Roundabout |access-date=9 December 2017 |archive-date=9 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181209082114/http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/331547 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2021037 |title=Rafael Roundabout |access-date=9 December 2017 |archive-date=3 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181003102621/http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2021037 |url-status=live }}</ref>
