View west from Tramway Lane underbridge, 21 October 1996

View west from Tramway Lane underbridge (see all photos of the same view)

This view shows the length of motorway between Tramway Lane (in the foreground) and the A6 Preston Road (in the distance). The road bed has now been formed on this length, and several overhead sign gantries installed. Tramway Lane itself now has tarmac laid on its new course under the motorway, but appears to be closed completely at this stage, perhaps to join the new section to the existing roads at either side.

Skid Risk, Accident, Fog

For the first time, we can share pictures of the pioneering experiment that lit up the Worcestershire countryside with enormous signs 61 years ago.
