A49 underbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

The bridge over the A49 is now mostly complete. Some work appears to remain on the guard rails at the far side. At the bottom right, a small car park was built as part of the motorway project. It serves the footpath leading away to the right towards Cuerden Valley Park.
