The A166 road is a trunk road between the outskirts of York and Driffield in the historic county of Yorkshire. The road used to terminate at the seaside town of Bridlington, until the opening of the Driffield by-pass caused the final section to be renumbered as the A614. ==History== The A166 follows the path of an old Roman road from York to Stamford Bridge, where it forded the river at the place where the modern bridge is located.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roman Road )〕 The bridge is mentioned in Anglo-Saxon Chronicles about the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066. The road was turnpiked between York and Stone Dale as part of the York, Kexby Bridge, Grimston and Stone Dale Turnpike Trust established in 1806. A turnpike Trust had existed since 1765, but this included new maintenance provisions. The Trust lasted until 1872.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Turnpike Trusts )〕 There are a number of Scheduled Ancient Monuments that lay alongside the A166, most notably in the area of Garrowby Hill: * Kitty Hill Round Barrow〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kitty Hill 21187 )〕 * Garrowby Hill Top Farm, three Round Barrows〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Garrowby Hill Top 21079 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Garrowby Hill Top 21081 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Garrowby Hill Top 21080 )〕 * Cot Nab Farm, two Round Barrows and multiple linear dykes〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cot Nab Farm 21084 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cot Nab Farm 21082 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cot Nab Farm 26593 )〕 * South Wold Farm, Linear Boundary Dyke, two Round Barrow〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Wold Farm 26592 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Wold Farm 21056 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Wold Farm 21055 )〕 * Fordham Farm, Round Barrow〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fordham Farm 21087 )〕 In 1983, the Driffield by-pass was built and became the route of the A166, which had previously gone through the centre of the busy market town. The by-pass was renumbered in 1996 to become the A614 and thus shorten the historic old road. In 2008, a feasibility study was carried out and proposals were put forward on behalf of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council for an alternative crossing of the River Derwent at Stamford Bridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alternative Crossing of the River Derwent Feasibility Study, A166 Stamford Bridge )〕 The current Grade II listed bridge only allows for one way flow and is controlled by traffic lights. It has a record for causing peak hour delays during the working week. Alternative routes included utilising the disused York to Beverley railway line crossing downstream from the current bridge. Also adding a new structure right next to the existing bridge was put forward. Other proposals involved two routes to the north of the river, one crossing just north of the caravan site on Buttercrambe Road and the other a complete new by-pass missing the village altogether. The report concluded that the best options did not score well enough for the Regional Transport Board to take forward and should not be pursued.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Figures and Drawings Alternative Routes Stamford Bridge )〕 In 2009, the stretch of the A166 along Main Road and York Road, between the turnings for the B1248, in Wetwang was the location for the third and final intermediate sprint during that year's Tour of Britain Stage 1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tour of Britain 2009 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A166 road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
