Two routes which the Secretary of State proposes to construct to connect the eastbound carriageway of the trunk road with the A522 Uttoxeter Road at Uttoxeter in the County of Staffordshire, the diverge and merge slip roads along these routes being given the numbers 1 and 2 respectively on the plan.
(b)Junction with A522 Uttoxeter Road roundabout south of the trunk road
Two routes which the Secretary of State proposed to construct to connect the westbound carriageway of the trunk road with the A522 Uttoxeter Road at Uttoxeter in the County of Staffordshire, the diverge and merge slip roads along these routes being given the numbers 3 and 4 respectively on the plan.
