Summary

Pathe synopsis: ...of the M1 to see the weird, space-age machines that are extending it by the length of a cricket-pitch every two hours. The great, ever-lengthening ribbon of high-speed motorway devours concrete more voraciously than any new city. And the machines that level, spread and finish it off - almost by automation - are awesome products of these ultra modern times...
