Work has yet to start on the underbridge, but the Walton Summit Motorway and its small terminal roundabout have already been mostly completed.

The M4 into London was one of the UK's earliest and most ambitious motorway projects. It was bold, pioneering... and almost instantly regretted.
Have you seen...
Above the M8
Go to Glasgow and it's almost inevitable that you'll use the M8. The views of the city surrounding it are really quite unique.
