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

The new bridge is now in service, and has been for three months, but because it was only completed recently the cutting beneath it is still being finished. Drainage channels and pipework can be seen on the banks, not yet fully installed, and work is taking place on the road bed.
