M6 interchange, view east (see all photos of the same view)
The viaduct crossing the M6 is the main feature of this picture. Deck sections are in place over the M6 itself but not elsewhere - presumably these were lifted in during a closure of the motorway, while other parts of the viaduct can be worked on at any time. A section of the roundabout on the right is well under way, ahead of works on the rest of the junction, because that isolated part is needed very shortly to carry diverted traffic around works elsewhere.
