Stanworth Farm underpass, view west, 20 July 1995
Stanworth culvert, view west (see all photos of the same view)
The culvert at Stanworth is in the middle of the picture and appears to be complete - it appears here as a line of concrete piping, with an earthmover next to it, perhaps in the process of covering it over. Stanworth Farm underpass is in the foreground and Riley Green Interchange in the distance.

The forever bottleneck, part 2
The second part of the story, where we learn why exactly the M4 gets narrower on the final approach to Europe’s biggest city.
