New Pedestrian Footbridge over Spittle Brook

This is the new Pedestrian Footbridge over Spittle Brook, between Solway Close and St Andrews Close in Cinnamon Brow in the North east corner of Warrington. It replaced a much smaller footbridge when they built up retaining walls as part of the River Mersey Flood Defence Scheme to protect nearby properties by widening the stream to increase it's capacity to take away water easily hence the need for a longer and more robust footbridge.

Sliproads at the Croft Interchange

Viewed from Mill House Lane. The sliproads lead off the M62 and onto the M6, and the split between northbound and southbound routes is just in view. The farm on the left, Tenement Farm, is now entirely surrounded by motorway.
