M61 interchange, view east, 21 October 1996

M61 interchange, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The viaduct across the M61 appears to be complete, but doesn't yet have its road surface. Three sides of the new roundabout have also been formed, and mostly surfaced; the missing side is the one that crosses the bridge on the left, which was only completed very recently.
