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.
