Marsh Farm overbridge, view north, 16 October 1995

Marsh Farm overbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

At Marsh Farm, a small accommodation bridge will link fields on either side of the motorway. One of the two bridge abutments has now been built; the other is seen here surrounded by scaffolding. In the field beyond, new lines of fencing mark out the route of a new lane that will lead to the bridge.
