From this angle, it's easier to see the retaining wall on the left that will support the motorway adjacent to the westbound off-slip. At present the wall is standing alone; it will eventually have an embankment piled up against the side nearest the camera to carry the motorway up to the bridge. That sliproad is the only one to require a retaining wall, as it runs closer to the line of the motorway than the others to avoid the buildings on the left.
