Cuerden embankment, view east (see all photos of the same view)

This view shows the state of construction works from the M6 (at the bottom of the picture) through to the M61. For the most part two carriageways can now be seen in some state of construction; the parts least developed appear to be at Cuerden embankment and Tramway Lane.

The Heads of the Valleys

The A465 Heads of the Valleys Road is one of the most spectacular trunk roads in the UK, and building it required some of the most remarkable civil engineering. This is the story of how the road was built in the 1960s, and how it's being rebuilt today.
