The A49 underbridge can be seen at the bottom of the picture, and the M6 interchange above it. The northernmost bridge of the future M6 interchange has been completed, allowing the haul road to cross the M6 directly; at the bottom right, a tipper truck is crossing the A49, aided by traffic lights where the haul road meets the public highway.
