View west from Tramway Lane underbridge, 21 October 1996

View west from Tramway Lane underbridge (see all photos of the same view)

This view shows the length of motorway between Tramway Lane (in the foreground) and the A6 Preston Road (in the distance). The road bed has now been formed on this length, and several overhead sign gantries installed. Tramway Lane itself now has tarmac laid on its new course under the motorway, but appears to be closed completely at this stage, perhaps to join the new section to the existing roads at either side.

What's new

Hello, here's my ridiculous side project

An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.

London, in a new light

It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.

The Ringways Map is here

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.

M1-A1 Link Road

Those last few miles of the M1 east of Leeds were completed in 1999. It looks for the most part like a fairly average piece of road, but one of the project's engineers describes some of the challenges that were faced.
