Add the M20 to that list - between the chaos of building Junction 10a and associated works, the strengthening of the hard shoulder between j8 and 9 in case it has to be used as a lorry park, and converting Maidstone to the M26 into "smart" motorway, we've already had best part of a year of chaos and it'll continue for another year or more.

And don't forget the M6. It's 50mph almost all the way from the M1 to Manchester.

I wish... if I could do 50 on that bit if M6 I’d be laughing. Few things more depressing than seeing an overhead 50 limit when you’re sat there with the engine off as you’ve been parked so long.

Last year I had a nice 1.5 hr sleep on the top end of the M5, nice transit driver in lane 2 tapped on my window to wake me up when the traffic cleared again.

It’s why I was so impressed with my run on Sunday - 66mph average for just over 240 miles and I wasn’t pressing on. In fact I wasn’t likely to trip any of the cameras I went past as I wasn’t speeding.

Yep, two years of disruption, £244 million and I bet the rush hour queues are just as bad when they’ve finished it! By the way, the M27 average speed cameras were switched on yesterday.

I left Gosport this morning and did 10 miles to the hamble… I have never seen the roads so congested.
My average speed was 8mph !!!

same up this way , M1 past Sheffield is chocker most of the time , smart traffic control means that more folk get to the same place at the exact same time , which causes more congestion
