A recently released video of the A417 flyover construction offers a striking glimpse into the enormous scale of the new dual carriageway being built. This crucial infrastructure project, known as the Missing Link, is designed to significantly improve traffic flow and safety on this busy route.
The footage also highlights a notable landmark’s former location – a well-known pub that once stood along the route but has since been removed to make way for the upgrade. The pub’s absence marks a key change in the landscape as large-scale modernization efforts continue.
Once completed, the Missing Link will provide a more efficient connection between the M5 and M4 motorways, helping to reduce congestion and support economic growth in the region. The project showcases both the impressive engineering involved and the evolving face of the local area as transport infrastructure adapts to meet future demands.
