Riley Green interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)

The two bridges at Riley Green are a hive of activity here, as a final push takes place to complete the parapets and guard rails and build the roadway across them. To the right, the old course of the A675 will eventually be returned to nature, but at this stage appears to be in use as a storage area for various materials.
