Riley Green interchange, view west, 14 February 1997

Riley Green interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)

The two bridges at Riley Green are a hive of activity here, as a final push takes place to complete the parapets and guard rails and build the roadway across them. To the right, the old course of the A675 will eventually be returned to nature, but at this stage appears to be in use as a storage area for various materials.

What's new

The forever bottleneck, part 1

The M4 into London was one of the UK's earliest and most ambitious motorway projects. It was bold, pioneering... and almost instantly regretted.

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
