Marsh Farm overbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

Marsh Farm bridge is still not yet in service, but is very close: the bridge deck now just needs its surface. At the very right edge of the picture, the temporary level crossing of the motorway line can be seen; this will be removed as soon as the bridge is in service.

What's new

The long way round

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.
