Stanworth culvert, view west (see all photos of the same view)

A long length of motorway is now taking shape at Stanworth. On the left side, grading work has prepared the road bed and sections of kerbing and drainage can be seen prior to installation. On the right, a layer of tarmac has been laid, though the carriageway doesn't yet have its final "wearing" course.
