Riley Green interchange, view west, 2 June 1997

Riley Green interchange, view west (see all photos of the same view)

From the west, the roadway across Riley Green Interchange can be seen. A road surface is in place, but the final wearing course hasn't been laid yet. On the sliproads, lighting columns have been erected. One of them, on the right, still has two protective bands of white padding around it that would have protected it in transit.
