A49 underbridge, view north, 10 January 1996
A49 underbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)
The A49 has moved to its new course under the motorway, and the width of the underpass is now clear. It appears to have been designed to accommodate a dual carriageway underneath, should one ever be required. The old course of the A49 has been buried below the embankment, though the earthworks do not yet meet the abutments of the bridge.

An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.
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...
Aust to Beachley
Today two motorways cross the Severn near Chepstow. But as recently as 1965, the only crossing was a ferry that carried six cars at a time, from Aust to Beachley.
