From the M1 the road climbs up past the Hellaby industrial estate at Junction 2 and then on up to the summit in a cutting, then drops down a long descent to the Junction 3 with the A1(M). The Junction with the A1(M) has the M18 on a Viaduct over the A1, with the Interchange between them. From here the road drops down to Dual 2 lane standard.

The section from J4 to J5 is built on a low Embankment that floats on the soft former marsh land, with the road undulating up and down. There are several large distribution depots built along this section of road.
