The '''A448''' is a main road in [[England]] running between [[Studley]] in [[Warwickshire]] and [[Kidderminster]] in [[Worcestershire]]. |
|||
==Route== |
|||
The A448 starts at a fork junction on the A435 just to the South of Studley, heading North West into the new town of [[Redditch]], entering [[Worcestershire]] immediately before a roundabout where it meets the [[A441 road|A441]]. For the next mile it is concurrent with the A441, before diverging at England's only [[Cloverleaf Interchange]]. From this point the A448 heads West on a dual carriageway bypassing the villages of Tardebigge and Finstall. The dual carriageway ends on a roundabout with the [[A38 road|A38]] [[Bromsgrove]] [[Bypass]]. It continues through the congested town centre and out of the other side, passing under the [[M5 motorway|M5]]. It is now a twisty single carriageway road passing through several villages before entering Kidderminster. It crosses the [[A449 road|A449]] at traffic lights, and descends past [[Kidderminster Station]] and [[Severn Valley Railway]] to meet the Ring Road. |
