Stanworth rock cutting, view east, 21 October 1996

Stanworth rock cutting, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The rock cutting at Stanworth has now reached its full depth, though heavy plant is still on site, seemingly constructing the new road bed. In the distance, in contract 2, the viaduct across Stanworth Valley doesn't yet have all its deck in place - construction work there will have to be fast paced, as the motorway is just over a year from opening.

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.
