The Highways Agency has listed three motorway projects around London which happen to finish before 2012 and spun them as preparation for the Olympics.
They're nothing of the sort. You're being lied to.
The M25 widening between junctions 27 and 30 is more than one junction widening project. Work around the M11 junction (there is always work around the M11 junction) is due for completion by Summer 2010.
Junctions 16 to 23 are to the north west of London - nearly as far from the olympic site as the M25 gets.
The A1(M) tunnel refurbishment is also nothing to do with the olympics. At considerable cost of money and disruption, the project will improve ventilation in the tunnel to being it up to "european" standards. Are we frequently plagued with asphyxiations in the Hatfield tunnel? No. Is Hatfield anywhere near the site of the 2012 olympics? No.
Not only do the Highways Agency toss our money about unnecessarily, they also insult us by claiming that these projects are to do with the olympics.
Lies.
