Gorton Brook underbridge, view north, 3 April 1995

Gorton Brook underbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

The new underbridge structure appears nearly complete here, and will later be covered when the motorway embankment is built on top of it. Brindle Road, running across the bottom of the picture, was severed when the M65 was built, so the underbridge here is not designed for general traffic and is simply a farm access for the fields to the north.
