At the bottom left of the picture, the boundary fence for the motorway has moved to the bottom of the embankment. This cutting slope has been designed to be much shallower than is strictly necessary and its shape blends in to the natural slope of the land, with the intention that most of it would be returned to farmland. This helps the motorway fit in to its surroundings more naturally. Visible here are Hill House Farm bridge (in the foreground) and Sandy Lane (in the distance).
