Surfside Ringway

The original Surfside Ringway (Also referred to as 'The Ringway' or simply the M3) was proposed to be a 3-lane motorway stretching around the entire metropolis. Most of the motorway was to lie at ground level (in a cutting) with the exception of two elevated sections. One through Midtown and the other going through Minechester. The bridges that would have been built would have been the longest in the city.

In February 2020 the project was found to be unfeasible largely because the route through Midtown was impossible. It was decided that the project should still go ahead albeit as a very different road. The Surfside Ringway will now consist of 1 motorway section and 3 dual carriageway sections.

M3 Motorway
The Ringway will start and end at the terminus of the M1. Going clockwise, the road will go through open countryside as a 3 lane motorway eventually reaching the airport terminal. From here it will become a 2-lane dual carriageway that curves round towards Midtown.

Approaching Midtown, the Ringway will become a dual carriageway with 2 lanes on one side and a single lane on the other. It will rise up to an embankment where a disused railway once was and share the embankment with the East Railway, separated by a wall.

It will continue on the embankment until it reaches a junction. It will then carry on over the Surf Bay Bridge.

Avoiding the docks and several railway lines, becoming a 2-lane dual carriageway in the process, heads for Minechester. It emerges into the motorway section at Minechester (This section has also been called Minecunian way). Curving round for the fourth time, the Ringway goes back into the cutting and back to the junction with the M1.

History
Construction started in October 2019. Work is expected to take 3 - 4 years to complete. This makes it the largest construction project in Surfside history.
