1920s and 1930s
The A4103 is a road that has been around since 1926, when it was upgraded from the B4207. It has been a major route between two county towns and cathedral cities since its inception, but strangely enough it did not receive Class I status until some time after it was established. The original route of the A4103 began on the A48 (which was later renamed to the A449 in 1935) in the St John's area of Worcester, running westward and joining the current A4103 just to the west of Rushwick. From there it continued on, passing through a number of small villages along the way, before eventually ending at the A465. Over the years, the A4103 has become an important road, connecting the two cities and providing a vital link between them. This has been especially important in recent times, with the population of both cities continuing to increase, leading to an increase in traffic on the road. As a result, the A4103 has been upgraded and improved in recent years to ensure that it is able to handle the increased levels of traffic. It is now a much-needed and well-used road, providing a reliable and efficient connection between the two cities.

1960s
In the 1960s, the decision was made to extend the A465 road, also known as the previously unclassified Roman Road, west along a short section located to the north of Hereford. This was likely done to provide a bypass for the city, as a way to reduce traffic congestion and make it easier for travelers to get around. The new route was intended to help alleviate some of the issues that came with the city's growing popularity, as its population swelled and the number of visitors increased. The extension was also seen as a way to help preserve the city's historic character, as the Roman Road provided an important link to its past. The A438 extension in the area of Swainshill was originally of a low-quality, and the construction of the Stretton Sugwas bypass meant that it was no longer necessary for the A438 to be extended in this area, as the bypass provided a much smoother and more efficient route for drivers. This bypass was significant in that it allowed for improved access to the area, especially for those travelling by car. The bypass also provided a more direct route, which allowed motorists to bypass the area and avoid traffic congestion. This ultimately decreased travel times and improved the overall experience of travelling through the region.

A4440 Worcester Bypass
The construction of the A4440 bypass at the Worcester end resulted in the original line of the road being severed. Consequently, the section to the east of the bypass was reclassified as the B4485, while the road through Rushwick was declassified in order to make way for a new link road that would connect the northern end of the bypass with the main road. The construction of this link road was a crucial part of the bypass project, as it would enable a smooth transition between the two sections of the bypass, and ensure that traffic could flow as seamlessly as possible. The link road was built with particular attention to detail, so as to ensure that it was as safe, efficient and reliable as possible. By constructing the link road, the A4440 bypass was finally completed, and the Worcester area was finally able to benefit from the improved traffic flow that the bypass had to offer.
