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

The cutting on the right has now been re-graded to create a much wider sliproad on to the M61; at this point the Walton Summit Motorway is closed to traffic and the closure may have been to allow the new sliproad to be brought into use. The old course can be seen in lighter grey tarmac.
