View west from Tramway Lane underbridge, 21 October 1996

View west from Tramway Lane underbridge (see all photos of the same view)

This view shows the length of motorway between Tramway Lane (in the foreground) and the A6 Preston Road (in the distance). The road bed has now been formed on this length, and several overhead sign gantries installed. Tramway Lane itself now has tarmac laid on its new course under the motorway, but appears to be closed completely at this stage, perhaps to join the new section to the existing roads at either side.

What's new

Grand openings

Our much-loved Opening Booklets section has two new publications for you to explore, and we’re making some overdue changes to make them easier to find and easier to read.

Silver bullet

The Silvertown Tunnel is finally open for business. One question remains: what’s it for?

Skid Risk, Accident, Fog

For the first time, we can share pictures of the pioneering experiment that lit up the Worcestershire countryside with enormous signs 61 years ago.

Clear and legible

A century ago, one short memorandum issued by the Ministry of Transport laid the groundwork for a system of standardised, uniform road signs and a great deal more.
