Bamber Bridge roundabout, view south, 2 June 1997

Bamber Bridge roundabout, view south (see all photos of the same view)

Bamber Bridge roundabout, and all its approaches, are now finally complete, and the roundabout is operating without traffic management. The cones are still out in force on the spur road leading into the distance, though, as the temporary diversion route between the M6 and A6 travels around one side of the terminal roundabout.
