A49 underbridge, view north, 17 July 1996

A49 underbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

The bridge over the A49 is now mostly complete. Some work appears to remain on the guard rails at the far side. At the bottom right, a small car park was built as part of the motorway project. It serves the footpath leading away to the right towards Cuerden Valley Park.

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.
