M61 interchange, view east, 20 July 1995

M61 interchange, view east (see all photos of the same view)

This remarkable view shows the earthworks for the motorway stretching off several miles into the distance. The point where they disappear from view is approximately the contract interface where this picture set ends. On the right, the borrow pits at Brindle are also visible, with large amounts of earth excavated to supply material for embankments.
