Tramway Lane underbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

The two facing walls that will support the bridge over Tramway Lane have now reached their full height. A mobile crane is on site, and appears to be removing the scaffolding and shuttering from the wall on the right. To the left, the crossing where the site haul road crosses Tramway Lane has recently been visited by a street sweeper on a regular visit to clear the public road of dust and mud.
