To reply to the original question; a motorway going OUT of Lincolnshire would be an excellent idea!
Agreed, 
The best road in Scunthorpe is the one out of it,

After a couple of days in Scotland, and lovely it was too, I was thinking…The only county I can think of that hasn’t got one and maybe should have, is Lincolnshire. (The M180 doesnt count cos its in NORTH Lincolnshire)
if they did it will fund there force a bit better and they be able to police the roads better to
i also see what your getting at and yes a motorway all the way up to Scotland would be good

I had heard that the M11 was supposed to run up to the Grimsby area, but don’t know how true that is.…
I heard that to. East coast Motorway link with the Humber Bridge, and beyond. though I dont think the good people off Beverley would be to pleased.
Wont happen now anyway, could you imagine all the holes that Swampy would dig across the Lincs wolds
Maybe a big ring road around London,
oops already did, oh dear nice thought.
Get people off the roads,thats where the freight is meant to be

Can I just put a cut n paste from the above site. This proposal, from what I can gather was written before some roads existed or were upgraded as we know them now. Even so, this would have been a fantastic route had it ever been built. Sorry if its a bit long, but it is only the proposed route plan.
The Publicly Funded Corridor starts on the high quality dual carriageway A19 trunk road just south of the County Durham/Cleveland border. It leaves the A19 at a point west of Hartlepool and sweeps westwards round the Middlesbrough / Billingham urban area providing Stockton on Tees with a new bypass. It also bypasses several smaller communities: Eaglescliffe, Thornaby on Tees, and Yarm. Other benefits include substantial relief to the already overloaded A19 bridge over the Tees in Middlesbrough and greatly improved access to Teesside Airport and Teesside itself.
Just south of the Cleveland/North Yorkshire boundary, the route rejoins an existing high quality dual carriageway A19. We propose widening this road to dual three lane standard and eliminating local access points. New service roads and bridges would replace lost accesses. A new grade separated junction gives access to Thirsk.
South of Thirsk, the present A19 reverts to single carriageway. Here we propose a new dual carriageway incorporating the proposed Easingwold Bypass. Two grade separated junctions would serve the market town of Easingwold. The route then curves round to bypass York to the east, either making use of an improved Ring Road or on a new alignment further east.
From York to south of Beverley, a new dual carriageway parallels the A1079, with a junction serving Market Weighton. Between Market Weighton and Beverley the route turns south to join the new Humber Bridge Northern Approach Road. It utilises this road to the Humber Bridge.
After crossing the Humber Bridge (junctions with the A63 on the north bank and the A1077 on the south bank), it continues south from Junction 5 on the M180 to the west of Market Rasen and Horncastle and the east of Lincoln. The A158 would link the route to Lincoln.
A junction with the A153 provides links to Homcastle and Sleaford; junctions with the A1121 and A16 give connections to Boston.
South of Boston, the route joins the A17 as it runs parallel with the south shore of the Wash. The DTp already plans a dual carriageway here, an improvement which the route would utilise. We anticipate the DTp making improvements off the line of the existing road so as to minimise environmental impact. Increasing traffic flows on this stretch may necessitate adding a third lane to each carriageway.
Halfway between Holbeach and King’s Lynn, near Sutton Bridge, the route leaves the A17 and turns south. A new dual carriageway carries it through part of Norfolk and into Cambridgeshire to the A45 Newmarket Bypass. This section has grade separated junctions with the A47 (for King’s Lynn and Wisbech); with a new link road to Downham Market; and with the A142 (for Soham and Ely). We have taken care to align it to pass east of the Ouse Washes SSSI and nature reserve, which stretches over 20 miles south west from Downham Market.
Connection southwards from the route to the existing motorway network would take advantage of the DTp’s imminent improvements to the All between the A45 and the M11 Junction 9 at Stump Cross.

Howabout an improvement in the A43/A34, Northampton/Southampon route to?
I must admit though it is a lot better since you don’t have to use the roundabout at Chieveley any more.
Norfolk could do with a motorway or two. Upgrading the A11 to motorway and dualling the single bits of the A47 would be nice. I won’t hold my breath though.
I only noticed this week that one of our motorways has disappeared, or has it been gone for along time and i didn’t see it. Do you know which one? Janet does, see John run up the hard shoulder,…opps, getting carried away.
dieseldog6 you lost the plot?

Can you class the M10 as a motorway 
My brother made a suggestion a few years ago (When he worked on the farm in Clumber Park and our parents and other brother lived at Malpas (They are still in that area)
“Build a motorway from Barlborough to Wrexham, straight through”
Well Staveley, Brimmington and Chesterfield is awfull and Chesterfield’s Inner Relief Road is a shining example of how to make things better worse!!
Talking about Lincolnshire , try major upgrades to the A16 bypassing Stamford and Boston (And the John Adams Way car park) and the A17 which is a major pain in the summer with HGVs , holidaymakers (with caravans) and tractors all competing for that same bit of road… I know I had to deliver parcels to both sides of the A17 on the Thursday before Easter at Holbeach (Besides Spalding, Long Sutton, Sutton Bridge and Wisbech)
Malpas. I went there once. Only once.
I’d collected from the Wrexham Industrial Estates and, as being my habit, headed for the A41 to go South. After a roundabout (or two) the road is then blocked by a sign proclaiming ‘Accident’ with no information as to where to go.
Circling the roundabout I see a sign for a ‘lorry route’ to Malpas. ‘Lorry route’? Am I allowed to say that on here? - Probably not. 
Following that route, to and passing the premises of a company whose name I cannot recall, or even care, the road narrows. I then find myself at a “T” junction in Malpas. Which has the appearance of a ‘one horse town’ where, to which the ‘horse’ has long long departed to some automated and commercialised ‘glue factory’.
Signed to the right is ‘Chester’. Bugger if I want to go there. To the left are 7.5 tonner weight limit signs. Although it is not immediately clear if they apply to ‘that’ road, or to the residential conurbation off to the then right. ‘Conurbation’ in this context meaning more than a single tumbledown residence standing alone.
So I go for it. The road isn’t overly wide but as I follow it I can see tree debris resulting from a higher vehicle having passed that way earlier and, as I haven’t met them coming back, then the chances of getting through seem pretty good.
I came out at some sort of “Y” junction with, I think, a garage on the corner. and then continued as normal.
All good fun.

Markgilly… the M10 was the one I was thinking about, no longer the M10 but is now classed as the A414, when did that happen?
