Public Works Act 1981

Motorways

142: Compensation where road interfered with or wholly closed

You could also call this:

“This rule about getting money for closed roads no longer exists”

This part of the law used to talk about getting money if a road was changed or completely closed. However, this rule doesn’t exist anymore. It was removed on 1 October 1989 by another law called the Government Roading Powers Act 1989. This means that if you’re looking for information about compensation for road closures, you’ll need to check more recent laws.
