Former motorways

Roads which used to be motorways but have been downgraded:

Link Route
M10 A short spur linking St Albans to the M1 near Hemel Hempstead. Now part of the A414.
M15 The designation for the Ringway 2 upgrade of the A406 (North Circular Road) and A205 (South Circular Road). Only the section between junction 4 of the M11 and Redbridge Roundabout was built to motorway standard and was initially signed as M11 because the section built, at the time, only led to and from the M11. When the route was extended to Beckton, this section of M11 was redesignated as the A406 (The North Circular).[11]
M41 The London West Cross Route, a spur from the London Westway (A40(M)) and the only part of the western section of the London Motorway Box to be built, now A3220.[12]
A18(M) A spur from M18. Mostly now part of M180, although a section has been abandoned.
A40(M) The London Westway, now the A40.[12]
A41(M) The Tring bypass, now the A41.[13]
A46(M) A spur towards Leicester from M1 at junction 21, now part of the A5460.[14]
A102(M) The London East Cross Route, in two sections:
A329(M) The northern third of the A329(M) from Winnersh to Reading, now the A3290. Downgraded to permit Reading council to dedicate one lane for buses.
A6144(M) Formerly the longest single-carriageway motorway spur in the United Kingdom from the M60 north of Sale towards Carrington. Now just a spur of the A6144.

Motorways that have been renamed

Link Route
M16 Originally to be the northern section of the M25 but was renumbered before opening.
M63 Merged with parts of the M62 and M66 to form the new M60 Manchester orbital motorway.
M85 Now M90 J10-11. Previously the M90 carried on along the spur into Perth, leaving the main route ahead as the M85[15]
M531 Now the southern section of the M53.[16]
A20(M) Now the M20 from J5-8.[17]
A423(M) Originally A4(M)[18] and then part of the M4. Now the A404(M).[19]
A6127(M) Now the A167(M)[20]

Motorways under construction or planned

The largest motorway project currently under construction in the UK is the £500m M8 Baillieston to Newhouse completion project, which includes 6 miles of new motorway on the M8 as well as junction upgrades and widenings to the M73 and M74.[21] Work started in Spring 2014 with completion estimated for Spring 2017.[22]

The £380m A1(M) Leeming - Barton upgrade[23] also commenced construction in Spring 2014 with completion scheduled for Summer 2016.

The Queensferry Crossing and its approach roads are also being constructed as a motorway and will extend the M90 to the M9 at junction 1a re-numbering the M9 spur when finished in 2016.

The only other new motorway constructions currently being planned in the UK is a motorway running south of the city of Newport, south Wales. This motorway remains to be properly named, only being described as the M4 relief road.

Unbuilt motorways

There have been many plans for motorways in the UK that have not been built. Below is a list of plans that were not built (not exhaustive):

Many cities had urban motorway plans, most of which were not built. London,[37] Newcastle,[38] Liverpool,[39] Manchester/SELNEC and Glasgow[40] all had extensive plans.

Northern Ireland

Unbuilt motorways

The following motorways were planned, but never built.

There were also urban motorway plans for Belfast[42][43]
