Gorton Brook culvert, view west, 10 January 1996
Gorton Brook culvert, view west (see all photos of the same view)
In the foreground, the underpass at Gorton Brook is visible, now half-covered by earth. The state of the deck on the M61 viaduct can be seen from here, with some sections complete and others yet to be started. In the middle of the picture a formidable array of heavy plant are parked up, presumably for some major earthmoving operation that is about to begin.

What's new
Grand openings
Our much-loved Opening Booklets section has two new publications for you to explore, and we’re making some overdue changes to make them easier to find and easier to read.
Silver bullet
The Silvertown Tunnel is finally open for business. One question remains: what’s it for?
Skid Risk, Accident, Fog
For the first time, we can share pictures of the pioneering experiment that lit up the Worcestershire countryside with enormous signs 61 years ago.
Have you seen...
M25 Orbital Motorway
The M25 is either one of the greatest transport achievements of the 20th century or one of Britain's largest planning failures, depending on which way you look at it. This booklet takes the former view, celebrating the completion of the circuit in 1986.
