M6 interchange, view east, 29 April 1996
M6 interchange, view east (see all photos of the same view)
The viaduct crossing the M6 is the main feature of this picture. Deck sections are in place over the M6 itself but not elsewhere - presumably these were lifted in during a closure of the motorway, while other parts of the viaduct can be worked on at any time. A section of the roundabout on the right is well under way, ahead of works on the rest of the junction, because that isolated part is needed very shortly to carry diverted traffic around works elsewhere.

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.
Red, white and blue
Kent County Council is run by eurosceptic nationalists. So why are they putting EU flags on their road signs?
The sunlit uplands
On Saturday 31 May something historic happened. The Heads of the Valleys Road was finally complete.
Have you seen...
Almondsbury Interchange
The UK's first four-level interchange opened in 1966. Relive some of the wonder and excitement of this icon of the motorway era with the book published to mark its completion.
