Comment from Pink Duck
Per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:motorroad#United_Kingdom is this really an expressway? Pedestrians and cyclists are permitted, it’s only 50 mph not 70 mph.

Expressways are different to motorroads, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:expressway/
As this is an access controlled (has sliproads), is a dual carriageway, has a 'higher than usual speed limit', it meets the criteria. I'd take higher than usual to be anything above the standard 30mph in most contexts.

70 mph is the usual dual carriageway limit. The speed curtailment to 50 mph, the bus lane and the lanes narrowing to one before the at-grade junctions don’t make it feel like an expressway.

What makes the section from Newmarket Road roundabout to Thickthorn Interchange not an expressway? No adjacent accessible properties, 40 mph, dual, pedestrian controlled crossing.
