Stanworth Farm underpass, view west, 20 July 1995

Stanworth culvert, view west (see all photos of the same view)

The culvert at Stanworth is in the middle of the picture and appears to be complete - it appears here as a line of concrete piping, with an earthmover next to it, perhaps in the process of covering it over. Stanworth Farm underpass is in the foreground and Riley Green Interchange in the distance.
