M6/A6 interchange culvert works, view west, 17 July 1996

M6/A6 interchange culvert works, view west (see all photos of the same view)

The existing culvert carrying a small watercourse under the M6 needs to be extended because the embankment it carries will be widened. To extend it, the existing embankment has been partially dug out so that the flow of water can be diverted through a temporary break in the culvert. That in turn means the ends of the structure are not carrying water and can be worked on.

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.

The UK's widest motorway is not where you might expect to find it — in fact, it's on the unassuming M61 near Manchester. This gallery offers an overhead view of one of the UK's most unique and spacious interchanges.
