Riley Green interchange, view north east (see all photos of the same view)

The roundabout at Riley Green is now mostly in place, as are the bridges spanning it. Traffic presently uses the west side of the roundabout and passes around two temporary mini-roundabouts. On the right, the old course of the A675 is being landscaped.
