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

The whole of the future M6 and A6 interchange complex can be seen here. At this stage the A6 interchange has not yet been modified, but topsoil has been cleared to both sides of the motorway. The new link roads alongside the M6 will be carried on high embankments and the space required for them can be clearly seen.
