Riley Green interchange, view north west (see all photos of the same view)

The service road for the buildings near the roundabout is now finished, so their temporary access road, running through the middle of the new roundabout, has been lifted. That, in turn, has allowed the inside of the roundabout to be graded and work is about to start on laying out the rest of the junction and on landscaping.
