A1(M) motorway A1 is the designation given to a series of four separate motorway sections in England. Each section is an upgrade to a section of the A1, a major north–south road, which connects London , the capital of England, with Edinburgh , the capital of Scotland . The first section, the Doncaster Bypass, opened in 1961 and is one of the oldest sections of motorway in Britain. Construction of a new section of A1 between Leeming and Barton was completed on 29 March 2018, a year later than the anticipated opening in 2017 due to extensive archaeological excavations . Its completion linked the Barton to Washington section with the Darrington to Leeming Bar section, forming the longest A1 section overall and reducing the number of sections from five to four. There has been a proposal to renumber the section of A1 to M1 between Micklefield and Washington, making this section a northern extension of the M1.Overview From London to Sunderland, 123.33 miles of the route are non-motorway while the remaining 145.38 miles are to motorway standards. The motorway sections are discussed below.This section opened in stages:Junctions 1 to 2 opened in 1979 Junctions 2 to 4 opened in 1986 Junctions 4 to 6 opened in 1973 Junctions 6 to 8 opened in 1962 Junctions 8 to 10 opened in 1967Junctions Alconbury to Peterborough This section which runs through the Cambridgeshire countryside between Alconbury and Peterborough first opened in 1998 and was officially opened by Lord Whitty on 31 October and is the most isolated of the motorway sections as it connects with no other motorway and is designed to a noticeably high standard, eight miles of it being four lanes from Junction 14 at Alconbury to Junction 16 at Norman Cross in each direction whilst the remainder has three lanes in each direction. It is managed by Road Management Services Ltd under a DBFO contract with the Highways Agency .Junctions Doncaster By-Pass (Blyth to Skellow) This fifteen mile section which runs from Skellow in South Yorkshire to Blyth in the far north of Nottinghamshire first opened in 1961 and was one of the very first sections of motorway to be built in Britain; it is entirely two lanes in each direction.Junctions Data from driver location signs are used to provide distance and carriageway identifier information .Skellow to Darrington (proposed) There are proposals in place to upgrade the Skellow to Darrington section of the A1 to motorway, meaning the entire stretch of A1 from Blyth in Nottinghamshire to Washington in Tyne and Wear will be motorway-standard road.Darrington to Washington This section opened in sections:Walshford to 49 opened in 1995 Junctions 43 to 44 opened in 1999 Junction 46 to temporary junction at Walshford opened in 2005 Junction 40 to south of 43 opened in 2005 & 2006 Junctions 44 to 46 opened in 2009 Junctions 49 to 51 opened in 2011 & 2012 Junctions 51 to 56 opened in 2017 & 2018 - there are no junctions 54 and 55 Junctions 56 to 59 opened in 1965 Junctions 59 to 63 opened in 1969 Junctions 63 to 65 opened in 1970Junctions Data from driver location signs are used to provide distance and carriageway identifier information.
