Riley Green interchange, view south east (see all photos of the same view)
The new line of the A675, on the left, is clearly seen here, replacing the original course of the road which will be dug up and returned to farmland. Towards the top of the picture, traffic is temporarily routed around a short section of the future large roundabout and onto a short temporary length of road that ties in to the A674.

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?
The road that made no sense

The forever bottleneck, part 2
The second part of the story, where we learn why exactly the M4 gets narrower on the final approach to Europe’s biggest city.

A470 End to End
The road that connects Wales together, but which nobody really uses... All five hours of the A470, from Llandudno to Cardiff, are here.
