Riley Green interchange, view north west (see all photos of the same view)

From this angle, the temporary and very indirect course of the A675 through the worksite is obvious. The A674 to the right of the picture has been completely closed to traffic, perhaps to tie the old road in to its new course towards the roundabout.
