M6/A6 interchange culvert works, view south east, 12 December 1997

M6/A6 interchange culvert works, view south east (see all photos of the same view)

The focus of this picture is the huge embankment in the foreground, which was expanded to carry the sliproads on either side of the M6, at a higher level than the motorway, between the two roundabouts. The culvert visible at the bottom of the picture was extended considerably to permit this.

What's new

The Ringways Map is here

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.
