M6 interchange and Cuerden footbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

From this angle the M6/M65 interchange appears almost complete. A sign gantry is even in place in the foreground. Beyond, however, the sliproads linking to the A6 are not yet laid - their embankments are only just being completed.

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.
