This article is critical of a British government scheme to widen a 50 mile piece of the M6 highway. The author notes that the lengthy and costly project will have little impact on traffic congestion, retard the mass transit movement and lead to the demolition of houses, noise pollution and the destruction of land. He predicts that protest over this road will rival the outcry over the Newbury bypass construction of the 1990s.
