M61 interchange, view east, 17 July 1996

M61 interchange, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The viaduct across the M61 now has a complete bridge deck and is connected to road bed at each side - a long length of it stretches away into the distance. The new junction is taking shape, except on the left, where the bridge that will carry the north side of the roundabout over the M61 has only been started in the last couple of months.

What's new

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.

The monster seen from below

What might it have been like to stand in one spot and witness the arrival, and the uncertainty, of plans for an urban motorway in West London?

Common sense suggests that you shouldn't be able to spend so much money on heavy engineering and end up with such a terrible road system.
