Icknield Way, Tring - Work on the Crossing between Longbridge Close and Chapel Meadow Now Started
It seems like a very long time but this project really took less than three years. This is quite fast for a highway project! On the other hand since the Icknield Way has been there a number of millennia perhaps it wasn't so fast after all.
