Which Roman road became part of the A1?
"King Street (Roman road) King Street is the name of a modern road on the line of a Roman road. It runs on a straight course in eastern England, between the City of Peterborough and South Kesteven in Lincolnshire. This English name has long been applied to the part which is still in use and which lies between Ailsworth Heath, in the south and Kate's Bridge, in the north. The old road continued to Bourne thence north-westwards to join Ermine Street south of Ancaster. This part of Ermine Street is called High Dike. In the south, King Street joined Ermine"
"Autostrada A1 (Italy) The Autostrada A1, nicknamed ""Sun Motorway"", is the oldest European Highway and the most important in Italy. The highway links the biggest italian Tyrrhenian-side cities: Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples. At 754 km, it is the longest Italian autostrada and it runs parallelly to Adriatic A14. It is a part of the E35 and E45 European roads. A1 reduced Milan-Naples travel time from two days to just seven to eight hours. The mountain crossing Bologna-Florence part is named Variante di Valico. Building works began in 1956, and the entire track was opened on 4 October 1964"

In 1828, John Benjamin Macneill, chief engineer to Thomas Telford, used Roman cement and gravel to solve problems with wear and tear on the Archway Road section of what is now the A1, an innovative technique that was used there for the first time, and is the basis for modern road building.

"A1 road (Northern Ireland) The A1 is a major route in Northern Ireland. It runs from Belfast via Lisburn and Banbridge to the border with the Republic of Ireland south of Newry, from where the road continues to Dublin, becoming the N1 road and M1 motorway. Between Sprucefield and Carrickcarnan the road forms part of the European route E01. The A1 is fully dual carriageway but some junctions remain relatively low specification as they necessitate right-turning movements across the central reservation. The busier junctions have been improved by the provision of bridges or underpasses. A flyover was constructed at the"

"While earlier trackways continued to be used, a number of relatively straight, well drained Roman roads were built to facilitate communications between the forts and allow the rapid movement of troops. One of the most important roads in the Roman’s British network was the Fosse Way from Lincoln to Exeter which ran south-westwards across Somerset. From Bath the route is now used by parts of the A367 road through Radstock and Stratton-on-the-Fosse. It then crosses open country along farm tracks and minor roads, passing through the eastern suburbs of Shepton Mallet to Cannard's Grave. The route then becomes the A37"
