Brindle Road overbridge, view west (see all photos of the same view)

The new bridge is nearing completion, though it has yet to gain its railings and still has temporary guard rails. One of its two approach embankments has been largely built. On the left, the old Brindle Road bridge cannot be demolished until the new one is ready for use.
