Sandy Lane overbridge, view west (see all photos of the same view)
At Sandy Lane, the bridge is almost ready to receive a road surface. Until it's ready for use, though, the diversion can't be removed, which is now holding up progress on laying the road. In the distance, the advanced state of the rest of the road is apparent - this section is now lagging behind.

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.
Have you seen...
Queensway Tunnel
The engineering marvel of its day, much altered and maligned ever since: this is the original Mersey Tunnel in all its glory.
