M61 interchange, view west, 21 October 1996

M61 interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)

This view of the interchange shows how much of it now has road beds and surface layers in place. In the foreground, the embankment leading up to the viaduct was only completed in the last few months, and so progress here is not so far advanced as on the rest of the junction. Some heavy plant can be seen putting finishing touches to the earthworks here.

What's new

Hello, here's my ridiculous side project

An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.

London, in a new light

It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.

The Ringways Map is here

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.

Three Generations of the A82

Three roads were built in the space of 200 years, all trying to tame Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe. This is the impressive tale of one of Scotland's most memorable routes.
