This is my entry, however having read the thread in full it doesn't really fit the bill. I scanned it originally and read 'Road' but I've only read the bit about the 'lure of the open road.'

The lure of the open road is disrupted by the traffic jam:

The repairs to the Oldbury Viaduct on the M5 will take two years. While this is going on the traffic is confined to one lane in both directions, hence the traffic jam.  :doh:
