M6 interchange, view south, 12 January 1995

M6 interchange, view south (see all photos of the same view)

Foundations can be seen for the three bridges that will form the future M6 interchange. The location of the old Cuerden footbridge, in the foreground, is clearly a problem - it's in the path of the long viaduct that will carry the M65 - which is why its replacement, in the distance, is nearing completion so early in the project.

What's new

The forever bottleneck, part 1

The M4 into London was one of the UK's earliest and most ambitious motorway projects. It was bold, pioneering... and almost instantly regretted.

Hello, here's my ridiculous side project

An introduction to what I write, and why I write it, and where my strange new road sign simulator fits in to all this.

London, in a new light

It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.
