Hill House Farm overbridge, view west, 21 October 1996

Hill House Farm overbridge, view west (see all photos of the same view)

Hill House Farm overbridge is seen here in the foreground, and is virtually complete. In front of it two pillars are in place for a sign gantry. Beneath, both carriageways are surfaced; the one on the right now has continuous surface right through to the M61, while the one on the left has its final "wearing" course laid and road markings in place.
