Hill House Farm overbridge, view west, 29 April 1996

Hill House Farm overbridge, view west (see all photos of the same view)

This view actually has Hill House Farm bridge just out of shot at the bottom of the picture. What can be seen instead is the state of the road bed between there and the M61: earthworks are largely complete, and embankments faced with vegetation, but the road itself has not yet been levelled off for construction.
