View east from Hill House Farm to Sandy Lane (see all photos of the same view)

Underneath Hill House Farm bridge, at the bottom of the picture, both carriageways have now been laid and completed, and both also have road markings. The one on the left, though, is in use as the haul road through the site, and very muddy. In the distance, Sandy Lane bridge has its spans in place but no deck yet.
