Riley Green interchange, view west, 10 January 1996
Riley Green interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)
A lot has happened here in just a few months. Traffic through the interchange is now passing under the completed bridge on the east side of the roundabout, which now allows the original line of the A674 to be broken up and the other bridge to be built. On the right, the A674 towards Blackburn has been diverted to its new course. On the left, the A675 Bolton Road takes a convoluted course to allow reconstruction of its approach to the junction.

London, in a new light
It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.
The Ringways Map is here
The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.
Have you seen...
Liverpool Inner Motorway
There's almost no evidence of Liverpool's 1960's plans for an inner ring road on the ground - but the motorway that never materialised would have been astonishing. The full details on the route, and the missing part the M62, are here.
