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

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.

The sunlit uplands

On Saturday 31 May something historic happened. The Heads of the Valleys Road was finally complete.

M25 Orbital Motorway

The M25 is either one of the greatest transport achievements of the 20th century or one of Britain's largest planning failures, depending on which way you look at it. This booklet takes the former view, celebrating the completion of the circuit in 1986.
