Brimmicroft footbridge, view north west, 14 February 1997

Brimmicroft overbridge, view north west (see all photos of the same view)

This high-level view shows the motorway west from Brimmicroft (at the bottom) through to almost the M61. The footbridge at Brimmicroft also carries a piped watercourse across the motorway, where the new road cuts through well below the water level. The pipeline for this appears to be visible across the bridge.

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.

Thelwall Viaduct

Thousands of vehicles travel the M6 between the M56 and M62 each day. They all cross the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, and the bridge that carries them is notorious from travel reports nationwide. But what does it actually look like from the ground?
