Gorton Brook culvert, view west (see all photos of the same view)

Looking west from Gorton Brook, the underpass is now complete and carries a finished embankment. One pillar for a sign gantry has been installed in what will eventually be the central reservation; a pit has been dug for the foundation of another.
