M61 interchange, view east, 17 July 1996

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

The viaduct across the M61 now has a complete bridge deck and is connected to road bed at each side - a long length of it stretches away into the distance. The new junction is taking shape, except on the left, where the bridge that will carry the north side of the roundabout over the M61 has only been started in the last couple of months.

What's new

Hello, here's my ridiculous side project

An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.

London, in a new light

It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.

The Ringways Map is here

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.

There's almost no evidence of Liverpool's 1960's plans for an inner ring road on the ground - but the motorway that never materialised would have been astonishing. The full details on the route, and the missing part the M62, are here.
