Stanworth rock cutting, view west, 2 June 1997
Stanworth rock cutting, view west (see all photos of the same view)
From this angle the completed road through the cutting can be seen, with a road sweeper cutting a black line of clean tarmac through the dust. The road won't open for another six months, but keeping the road clear on a regular basis is much easier than trying to clear six months of construction dust and debris in one go at the end.

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.
