View west from Marsh Lane to Sandy Lane (see all photos of the same view)

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.

Signs and sensibility

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 under troubled bridges

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