Its a bit more than 'five' minutes, and it will give the assurance of not
getting involved in long unplanned for delays in the traffic heading into
Doncaster.
Will it now?

Lets look at it properly shall we. The new link road will not alter the journey time from Sheffield to J3 of the M18, so lets not include any time savings there.

Now, I have been to DSA many times, and it has never taken me more than 15 minutes from J3 to DSA via Lakeside. Next, the new road will probably take 5-7 minutes from J3 to the DSA doors, can you therefore explain where this huge time saving will come from, as without the aid of a teleportation device or time machine, I just don't see it. As for these 'large traffic jams', Ive rarely seen them in all the times Ive visited family in the Doncaster area, and Doncaster is hardly a bustling metropolis like the centre of London, Birmingham or Manchester.

And lets not forget the road isn't actually for the benefit of the airport, its for the regeneration of Rossington and Finningly, as the name suggests......
