View west from Leeds-Liverpool Canal underbridge to Sandy Lane, 20 July 1995

View west from Leeds-Liverpool Canal underbridge to Sandy Lane (see all photos of the same view)

The new bridge over the canal now has its deck in place, but is not yet in use for construction traffic. The temporary bridge on the left is still in situ, but will shortly be removed. On the right, one of the new embankment slopes has been grassed over, the first of the new motorway earthworks to be fully complete.
