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.
