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
Signs and sensibility
The one great attempt to make London’s streets logical - and how one retired chauffeur’s favourite routes changed the way you get around the capital.
A bridge under troubled bridges
A bridge that was ruined by another bridge, and a type of highway planning beyond any of the UK’s worst nightmares.
The monster seen from below
What might it have been like to stand in one spot and witness the arrival, and the uncertainty, of plans for an urban motorway in West London?
Have you seen...
Mancunian Way
Manchester's highway in the sky, carrying traffic around the city centre and rapidly becoming an iconic part of the city's heritage.
