M61 interchange, view east (see all photos of the same view)
The viaduct carrying the M65 over the interchange is now well advanced, with all its steelwork in place and some sections of deck also now in situ. At the top and bottom of the picture earthworks are progressing to lay out the embankment for the motorway and cuttings for the roundabout. At the left, a new retaining wall is being built where the eastbound exit sliproad will descend right alongside the motorway.
