Contract interface, view east, 20 July 1995

Contract interface, view east (see all photos of the same view)

Stanworth rock cutting is visible in the middle of the picture. Progress here appears to be slow, with a pit of broken rock in the middle of the cutting attended to by a group of construction vehicles. In the distance, beyond the contract boundary, a range of mobile cranes have arrived, and it looks like the environmental protestors are no longer present.

London, in a new light

It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.

The Ringways Map is here

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.

The Heads of the Valleys

The A465 Heads of the Valleys Road is one of the most spectacular trunk roads in the UK, and building it required some of the most remarkable civil engineering. This is the story of how the road was built in the 1960s, and how it's being rebuilt today.
