M61 interchange, view west, 12 January 1995

M61 interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)

The foundations for the long viaduct over the M61 interchange, and some of the first bridge piers, are visible here. On the left, the original junction for the M61's link road to the A6 is seen in its original configuration. Its bridge is re-used in the final junction to carry one side of the large new roundabout over the M61.

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
