M61 interchange and Brindle Road overbridge, view south (see all photos of the same view)
The new Brindle Road bridge, at the bottom of the picture, has its deck in place, but work remains to be done. Completion of this bridge at an early stage of the project is important to allow the existing Brindle Road bridge, in the middle of the picture and crossing the M61 at an angle, to be demolished. That, in turn, will allow a bridge to be built in its place that will carry the north side of the new roundabout at the M61/M65 interchange.

What's new
Signs and sensibility
The one great attempt to make London’s streets logical - and how one retired chauffeur’s favourite routes changed the way you get around the capital.
A bridge under troubled bridges
A bridge that was ruined by another bridge, and a type of highway planning beyond any of the UK’s worst nightmares.
The monster seen from below
What might it have been like to stand in one spot and witness the arrival, and the uncertainty, of plans for an urban motorway in West London?
Have you seen...
EuroRoute
Today you can catch a train to France. You can even put your car on it, and be there in less than an hour. But in the 1980s, Euro Tunnel had competition - including plans to build a motorway across the English Channel.
