Summary
A $40 million motorway junction near Bristol—finished since 2020—is stuck as a “ghost junction,” unusable and abandoned despite being built to relieve years of truck traffic chaos. Originally meant to connect the M49 to an industrial estate, the project stalled when a private developer walked away, leaving National Highways to pick up the pieces. Now, cracks have appeared on an unused surface, forcing costly repairs and investigations. With no clear opening date and government funding already spent, locals are furious—six years of waiting for a promise that’s still broken.
