Riley Green interchange, view north (see all photos of the same view)
There's a lot of activity at Riley Green in this picture - it looks like a major effort to complete the two bridges so that the motorway can finally be laid across the top. At the upper right, it looks like an area of an adjacent field was in use for construction work for a time. This has now been re-levelled.

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.
Have you seen...
The Heads of the Valleys
The A465 Heads of the Valleys Road is one of the most spectacular trunk roads in the UK, and building it required some of the most remarkable civil engineering. This is the story of how the road was built in the 1960s, and how it's being rebuilt today.
