M6 interchange and Cuerden footbridge, view north, 16 October 1995

M6 interchange and Cuerden footbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

The new M6 interchange is beginning to take shape, with a second bridge now in situ. The one nearest the camera did not exist three months previously. Steelwork forming the first span of the new viaduct is also in place. The bridges across the M6 are notably wider than the motorway, and may have been designed to allow for future widening to four lanes in each direction.

What's new

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.

On Saturday 31 May something historic happened. The Heads of the Valleys Road was finally complete.
