View west from Marsh Lane to Sandy Lane (see all photos of the same view)

Marsh Lane bridge is now in use. At the very bottom of the picture, work on grading the road bed is still at an early stage: within the last three months, the old course of Marsh Lane was blocking work on this part of the route, so plant is now on site to catch up and link together the sections of motorway on each side of the bridge.

M25 Orbital Motorway

The M25 is either one of the greatest transport achievements of the 20th century or one of Britain's largest planning failures, depending on which way you look at it. This booklet takes the former view, celebrating the completion of the circuit in 1986.
