A1(M)/M62 INTERCHANGE

ADDED 10 JULY 2005

After reading the A1 update from Graham Stokes in the July edition of The Digest, and remembering the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words, I though you might like to see this aerial photograph of the A1(M)/M62 roadworks to the west of Ferrybridge power station. It was taken in June 2005 with a digital camera.

It looks like we will have our own 'spaghetti junction' and there is no doubt that it is a significant engineering achievement and a sign of progress. I confess however, that I still get a certain satisfaction from driving through that part of Brotherton / Byram that still bears the street sign 'Old Great North Road'.
