Cuerden footbridge, view west (see all photos of the same view)

The footbridge over the M6 at Cuerden was built to allow access to Cuerden Valley Park, which would otherwise have been severed by the M65. It came complete with a new car park just off the A49. Beyond, the terminus of the motorway can be seen.
