Driving through Oakham yesterday, and reading the Rutland Mercury
subsequently, I understand the Oakham bypass - first mapped by OSM -
is to open tomorrow.
The old A606 through Barleythorpe, Oakham, and out onto the Stamford
Road is being downgraded to the B640 and the signs are already up. A
DfT document suggests the old A6003 (Catmos[e] Street) will become the
short B641, but I couldn't see any signs for this, and unclassified
would make more sense.
I could make the change myself, but believe Etienne or Andy, as the
pioneers who (allegedly) mapped this road in top secret conditions,
should have the honour of changing the attributes!
cheers
Richard
