M6 interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)

More of the foundation work for the viaduct across the M6 is visible here, including some piles that have been sunk on the east side of the motorway, seen towards the bottom of the picture. On the right the bridge that will carry the north side of the roundabout over the M6 now has its main span in place and work is taking place on the decking.
