Riley Green interchange, view north (see all photos of the same view)

There's a lot of activity at Riley Green in this picture - it looks like a major effort to complete the two bridges so that the motorway can finally be laid across the top. At the upper right, it looks like an area of an adjacent field was in use for construction work for a time. This has now been re-levelled.
