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.
What's new
Signs and sensibility
The one great attempt to make London’s streets logical - and how one retired chauffeur’s favourite routes changed the way you get around the capital.
A bridge under troubled bridges
A bridge that was ruined by another bridge, and a type of highway planning beyond any of the UK’s worst nightmares.
The monster seen from below
What might it have been like to stand in one spot and witness the arrival, and the uncertainty, of plans for an urban motorway in West London?
Have you seen...
Scammonden Bridge
If you've ever been on the M62 across the Pennines, you'll know the one. It's the huge arched bridge 120ft above the road. And this is what it's like when you're standing on top of it!
