another good video of this area _ I drive past this area regularly _ really starting to see a lot of progress _ it's going to look very different later _ as the works by Coleshill Manor & M42 viaduct crossing towards Gilson take shape _ see where those steel sections get assembled really enjoying your coverage of this area _ it doesn't get the footage compared to Hams Hall 👏
I almost didn't recognise it, but a stream here, a prominent building there and the curve of a motorway slip road brought it all back to my experience in September 2018 when I walked that section of the route. I saw a homely farm, some creaky ancient barns on the opposite side of the road, dips and bumps of a moat, mature trees, a rise to a long driveway, a stack of black shrink wrapped bales, down to a river with willow trees and up the other side by a stand of pines in a field; and there a sight to behold in the early autumn sun - the spindly branches of a once great tree dead as dead could be, positioned directly in front of a similar tree, alive as alive could be, the two as one, singular and magnificent; all completely gone
Have you got any footage of the new road and motorway junction at Catherine De Barnes that you could share? Would be interested to see what progress looks like now.
All impressive civils but the cost on generations to come is incomprehensibly expensive. I dont believe a word of the cost vs benefit feasibility study that mustve gone inro this mammoth exercise........it wont be 225mph either.
