Sandy Lane overbridge, view west (see all photos of the same view)

At Sandy Lane, the bridge is almost ready to receive a road surface. Until it's ready for use, though, the diversion can't be removed, which is now holding up progress on laying the road. In the distance, the advanced state of the rest of the road is apparent - this section is now lagging behind.
