A6 overbridge, view east (see all photos of the same view)

Some minor earthworks have begun on the length of motorway through Walton Summit, but work here is still focussed mainly on the two bridges at the A6, at the bottom of the picture, and Tramway Lane, towards the top. Work had only really started on these in the previous six months.
