M61 interchange and Brindle Road overbridge, view south (see all photos of the same view)
Construction of the new bridge to carry the roundabout continues, having only started in the last three months. Until then the old Brindle Road bridge stood in the way. Underneath, the M61 is restricted to two lanes in each direction, and has been for many months; the northbound carriageway (on the right) will actually never operate with three lanes again and will be repainted with only two as part of this project.

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?
Have you seen...
A470 End to End
The road that connects Wales together, but which nobody really uses... All five hours of the A470, from Llandudno to Cardiff, are here.
