I appreciate that the surface data is very basic, albeit sufficient for recognising basic features when flying, but I seem to have spotted a new road that isn't actually there.

It is in Cambridgeshire, a dual carriageway that starts midway twixt Cambridge and Huntingdon (A14) and goes almost directly west before curving northwards to join the A1.

It passes about a mile north of Main Hall Farm and is potentially very misleading. Anyone having local knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I drove along the A14A1 to Peterborough from the Cambridge side last week and do not recollect a new junction along that stretch.

I'll check to see if there's an "under construction" flag in the data we receive that we're erroneously ignoring.

Thanks Tim, Although sometimes roads "under construction" are more visible from the air than established roads! The problem with this road in particular is that construction hasn't yet started (and it looks like may never will!).

One has to chuckle. Our plight, WRT non existent roads pales into insignificance when considering the Tsunami wiping out Vaga (EKVG) airport in the Faroes Wink
