| Most of this area of farmland in 1928 is now covered with housing on both sides of the road. Today, these houses have been encroached upon by the now six-lane bypass edged with narrow service roads that only provide limited access to the truck route. The noise and population levels for those living close to such main routes was clearly not a consideration for the early planners.
Strange how many times a new road was (and still is) built only to be surrounded by housing, so increasing the traffic on the road and making it difficult to increase the road capacity by widening.
