Stanworth rock cutting, view west, 2 June 1997

Stanworth rock cutting, view west (see all photos of the same view)

From this angle the completed road through the cutting can be seen, with a road sweeper cutting a black line of clean tarmac through the dust. The road won't open for another six months, but keeping the road clear on a regular basis is much easier than trying to clear six months of construction dust and debris in one go at the end.
