M61 interchange, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The viaduct over the M61 now has its deck fully in place. On the left, the old Brindle Road bridge has finally been demolished - its diagonal course over the motorway can just about be seen. On the right, the small roundabout on the far side of the M61 has recently been taken out of use.
