Stanworth rock cutting, view east (see all photos of the same view)

The rock cutting continues to get deeper and now appears to have some ponds forming. In the foreground, the road bed is still being used to store material that will later be used to form embankments - perhaps at Riley Green interchange, just to the west, where some of the earthworks are still at an early stage.
