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

The sunlit uplands

On Saturday 31 May something historic happened. The Heads of the Valleys Road was finally complete.

Grand openings

Our much-loved Opening Booklets section has two new publications for you to explore, and we’re making some overdue changes to make them easier to find and easier to read.

Silver bullet

The Silvertown Tunnel is finally open for business. One question remains: what’s it for?

Junction Three

The M621 has one junction where everything leaves the motorway and heads for the city, and a very bizarre junction it is too.
