A49 underbridge, view west (see all photos of the same view)
The end of the motorway, approaching the terminal roundabout, is taking its final form. In the foreground, a top layer of concrete is being laid on a waterproofing course on the A49 bridge deck in between the two carriageways. The gap between them - and the immense width of the bridge and the embankment beyond it - were designed to allow for a future continuation of the motorway over the top of the roundabout. This was never built.

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.
