M6 interchange, view south, 29 April 1996

M6 interchange, view south (see all photos of the same view)

This wider picture shows the new M6 interchange in context. Junction 29, with the A6, is at the bottom of the picture. In the middle of the picture new embankments are being piled up next to the sliproads; eventually those sliproads will be closed and rebuilt so that they join the new roundabout at the M65.
