A449 road
From Wyfopedia
The A449 is a major road running north from junction 24 of the M4 motorway at Newport, south Wales to join with the A40 between Abergavenny and Monmouth. The A449 reappears at Ross-on-Wye at the junction of the A40 and the M50 motorway and continues roughly north-east to Ledbury, Malvern, Worcester, then turns northwards towards Kidderminster.
The A449 enters the Wyre Forest at Summerfield and turns right under the Hoo Brook viaduct.
It continues towards Wolverhampton before meeting the M6 motorway at junction 13, and finally terminating in Stafford.
This dual carriageway road was built to near motorway standards, and was intended to ease the strain on the Severn Bridge, providing an alternative route to the Midlands. It is used to test new road services.
