A614 road
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.
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.
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.
