Tramway Lane underbridge, view south (see all photos of the same view)

Work has yet to start on the underbridge, but the Walton Summit Motorway and its small terminal roundabout have already been mostly completed. These works were accelerated at the start of the contract so that the existing M61 link road, seen here just above the roundabout, and which lay in the path of the future M65, could be removed.

Walton Summit Motorway

What's new

Signs and sensibility

The one great attempt to make London’s streets logical - and how one retired chauffeur’s favourite routes changed the way you get around the capital.

A bridge under troubled bridges

A bridge that was ruined by another bridge, and a type of highway planning beyond any of the UK’s worst nightmares.
