Tramway Lane underbridge, view south (see all photos of the same view)
This overhead view shows Tramway Lane passing beneath the new M65 and the Walton Summit Motorway leading away to the top left. The bridge includes extra space on top to carry a fourth lane each way, if one is ever needed. Underneath, Tramway Lane has been closed, though it's not clear why. Cones block the line of the road at both ends.
