So work is actually starting today on the new £56 million dual carriageway link road from the M18 to Rossington, with work expected to be completed by 2016. Its just a shame it wont be going all the way to the Airport.
The new road will join existing roads 2.5 miles from the airport, and those 2.5 miles are not a problem - there is rarely congestion and a quarter of that section is already dual carriageway on the airport entry road.

The journey time from the end of the new road to the airport will be about 4 minutes - hardly an issue.

The new road will mean passengers avoid urban areas of Doncaster which get heavily congested at rush hour. The journey time will be cut by at least 20 minutes, with a bigger saving during rush hour.
