Marsh Lane bridge is now in use. At the very bottom of the picture, work on grading the road bed is still at an early stage: within the last three months, the old course of Marsh Lane was blocking work on this part of the route, so plant is now on site to catch up and link together the sections of motorway on each side of the bridge.
