A6 overbridge, view west, 14 February 1997

A6 overbridge, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The new bridge is now in service, and has been for three months, but because it was only completed recently the cutting beneath it is still being finished. Drainage channels and pipework can be seen on the banks, not yet fully installed, and work is taking place on the road bed.

What's new

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?
