M25 Motorway Link Road, Chandler's Cross This is the spur road leading to Junction 19 of the M25 Motorway from the Hunton Bridge roundabout, viewed looking westwards from the Langleybury Lane overbridge. Traffic is usually stationary westbound on this stretch during the weekday morning rush hour, but the road is virtually deserted on a Sunday morning. This particular road existed as the A405 trunk road, by-passing Watford, for many years prior to the M25 being built, and the route of the A405 was also incorporated into the motorway from Junction 19 to Junction 17 at Maple Cross. The distant dark triangular shaped structure is the gantry holding a conveyor belt crossing the road, associated with the numerous gravel pit workings in the vicinity.
