A614 road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A614 is a road running through the counties of Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.
Beginning near Calverton in Nottinghamshire with a roundabout with the A60. The road has a roundabout with the A6097, then crosses the Robin Hood Way then passes Bilsthorpe. At Rufford there is a Center Parcs resort and Rufford Country Park. The road meets several roads at a major roundabout at Ollerton near a Shell petrol station. This is near Edwinstowe, famed for its connections with Robin Hood. The road passes through Clumber Park and goes past the entrance to the former Army Proteus training camp. The road passes over the River Poulter. At Apleyhead Wood, the road meets the A1 and A57 at a busy roundabout. This roundabout is due to be rebuilt to become a dual-grade junction (GSJ). The A614 multiplexes with the A1 for a few miles north.
At junction 34 of the A1(M) at Blyth, next to a large Moto service station, the road runs north, to the settlement of Bawtry passing to the south of a nearby colliery at Harworth. At Bawtry the road meets the A638, a roman road, which heads into Doncaster. The road passes under the East Coast Main Line here. At Finningley, the road passes around the runway of Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, the former RAF Finningley. The road has a level crossing with the Doncaster-Lincoln railway line. The River Torne is crossed. Near Hatfield Woodhouse, the road passes a prison, which used to be RAF Lindholme, used by RAF Bomber Command. The road meets the M180 and A18 at a roundabout at Thorne, the former terminus of the A18(M). The road meets the M18 at junction 6 and follows the River Don for a few miles, then crosses it, where the river becomes the Dutch River. The road crosses the M62, passes through Rawcliffe then meets the M62 at junction 36. The road passes through the north of Goole.
From Goole, the road continues in a north-easterly direction, crosses the M62 and passes over the River Ouse on the iron-girder Boothferry Bridge. It meets the M62 at the ancillary junction 36. From here, the road becomes a trunk road. The road runs through the settlements of Howden, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor, Market Weighton, Driffield, and ends on the Yorkshire Coast at Bridlington, where it joins the A165.
[edit] Former route in Nottinghamshire
The road used to continue south from the junction with the A60, next to the Little Chef, and continue along what is now the A60. The north-west section of the Nottingham western bypass, up to the A52 junction, near the Queen's Medical Centre (before the Clifton Boulevard was built) was the A614 for some time. It is now the A6514. When the Clifton Boulevard was built, the number of the western bypass was changed.
[edit] Former route in East Yorkshire
Originally, the A614 went from Thorne via Snaith to Selby. The current section from Goole through Rawcliffe was the A161 (from Gainsborough). From Goole to Holme-on-Spalding Moor, it was the A1041. From here through Market Weighton, to Driffield, it was the A163. From here to Bridlington, it used to be the A166 (which is the road from York). More recently, it finished at Holme-on-Spalding-Moor, then what is now the A614, carried on north as the A163 (from Selby), then as the A164 (from Beverley) just before Driffield.
