A14 Road (England)
The A14 is a major road in England, running 127 miles (204 km) from the Port of Felixstowe to the Catthorpe Interchange, the junction of the M1 and M6 motorways near Rugby. The road forms part of the unsigned Euroroutes E24 and E30.
Prior to the completion of the M6 motorway in 1971 and the opening of the A1-M1 Link road in 1994 traffic would have used the A45 road. Until 1994 the A14 designation was used for a section of the Ermine Street between the A10 at Royston on the A10 and the A1 at Alconbury, most of which is now the A1198 road.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“At sundown, leaving the river road awhile for shortness, we went by way of Enfield, where we stopped for the night. This, like most of the localities bearing names on this road, was a place to name which, in the midst of the unnamed and unincorporated wilderness, was to make a distinction without a difference, it seemed to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
