Sandy Lane overbridge, view west, 14 February 1997

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.

What's new

Hello, here's my ridiculous side project

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.

EuroRoute

Today you can catch a train to France. You can even put your car on it, and be there in less than an hour. But in the 1980s, Euro Tunnel had competition - including plans to build a motorway across the English Channel.
