This Drone Footage Video captures Junction 16 of the Motorway/ Highway Junction of Swindon, England. This video took over 200 hours on my mac to render and multiple attempts so I hope you enjoy! xD Website: www.silvesterdroneservices.com Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/MrJakeSilvester The multi-million-pound upgrade of Junction 16 of the M4, which has been fully opened on time, will ensure it can cope with future traffic levels and cater for further development in the surrounding area, providing a boost to the economy of Swindon and Wiltshire. Approximately 5,500 vehicles an hour currently use Junction 16 at morning and evening peak times and this is expected to rise by more than 50 per cent over the coming years. The huge engineering project, which was carried out by HOCHTIEF, began 17 months ago with the key highway interchange remaining open throughout. The new larger junction has been remodelled and improvements have included a new dedicated right turn from Royal Wootton Bassett towards Wroughton to divert traffic away from the main roundabout, while lanes have been added to approach roads, motorway slip roads have been widened, drainage has been improved and new traffic signals and street lights have been installed. A total of 200,000 man hours were spent on the project, with 15,000 tonnes of Tarmac, 25,000 tonnes of sub-base materials and 100,000 tonnes of imported clay used to create the extra capacity on the junction. And while the groundwork was laid for the new road surface, 1.5km of drainage pipes were installed along with 140 gullies, 6km of street lighting cabling and 38km of traffic signal cabling. The scheme has been funded by Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership (SWLEP) and the Wichelstowe Joint Venture. It was delivered by Swindon Borough Council in partnership with Highways England and Wiltshire Council. The motorway junction redesign was a requirement of the outline planning permission for the major housing development at nearby Wichelstowe and needed to be complete before the 1,100th property on the site is occupied.
