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

At the bottom right, the small roundabout has recently been taken out of service and broken up. In the distance, with the new Brindle Road bridge in use, the old one has been demolished. Some of the debris is still visible on the embankments to either side of the M61 and on the hard shoulder.
