M61 interchange, view west, 2 June 1997

M6 interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)

From the east, the viaduct across the M61 can be seen, with surface laid on one carriageway but not on the other. At this time scaffolding still surrounds some of the viaduct piers on the south side; possibly surfacing work is awaiting the completion of whatever is happening underneath the structure.

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?
