Riley Green interchange, view south west, 21 October 1996

Riley Green interchange, view south west (see all photos of the same view)

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.

What's new

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.

Red, white and blue

Kent County Council is run by eurosceptic nationalists. So why are they putting EU flags on their road signs?

The sunlit uplands

On Saturday 31 May something historic happened. The Heads of the Valleys Road was finally complete.

Junction Three

The M621 has one junction where everything leaves the motorway and heads for the city, and a very bizarre junction it is too.
