Brimmicroft footbridge, view north west, 14 February 1997

Brimmicroft overbridge, view north west (see all photos of the same view)

This high-level view shows the motorway west from Brimmicroft (at the bottom) through to almost the M61. The footbridge at Brimmicroft also carries a piped watercourse across the motorway, where the new road cuts through well below the water level. The pipeline for this appears to be visible across the bridge.

M25 Orbital Motorway

The M25 is either one of the greatest transport achievements of the 20th century or one of Britain's largest planning failures, depending on which way you look at it. This booklet takes the former view, celebrating the completion of the circuit in 1986.
