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.

Signs and sensibility
The one great attempt to make London’s streets logical - and how one retired chauffeur’s favourite routes changed the way you get around the capital.
A bridge under troubled bridges
A bridge that was ruined by another bridge, and a type of highway planning beyond any of the UK’s worst nightmares.
The monster seen from below
What might it have been like to stand in one spot and witness the arrival, and the uncertainty, of plans for an urban motorway in West London?
Have you seen...
Operation Stack
If there's trouble crossing the Channel, you'll see the lorries queuing on the M20. What is Operation Stack? Why does it cause so much trouble? And why, more than twenty years after it started, are we still using it?
