Tramway Lane underbridge, view north (see all photos of the same view)

Huge changes have taken place at Tramway Lane since October. The new bridge is in use, with the road through it completed; to the left, the old course of the road has been completely torn up and the motorway embankment built in its place. Work is now under way to pile up the embankment around the walls of the underpass.

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 that was ruined by another bridge, and a type of highway planning beyond any of the UK’s worst nightmares.
