M180 motorway - Definition and Overview

The M180 motorway is a major road in England. The motorway runs east from M18 motorway near Thorne to the junction of the A15 and A180 roads near Humberside Airport. Its twenty-five mile long route passes Scunthorpe and Brigg, as it carries vehicles to the ports of Immingham and Grimsby, on the east coast.

Three lanes wide for most of its duration (aside from a short two lane section past Scunthorpe), it is pretty much straight and flat.

The M180 has its own spur - the M181. It is somewhat ironic that while the M180 has to make do with a roundabout junction with the M18, its spur has a large, freeflowing trumpet interchange!

It was extended in the 1980s, but as the all purpose A180 - a two lane dual carriageway which continued on to Grimsby and Cleethorpes. The road surface of this section is particualrly noisy.
