First topic message reminder :
The Goose Green to Westwood Park Link Road, is due to start construction soon and I know that Tomplum is really looking forward to work on the new road starting and mac said in another topic that they have been pegging out for the road bridge over the stream, so this is a plan of the new road, which has been made by a company called Tekla
Sniffy Brook Bridge

Entire Road

The old A49 before dual carriageway.
The " BEN JONSON " RAILWAY BRIDGE ( you can just see the Original between the bridge and lamppost on the left hand side ) laden with empty coal wagons going to the pit to be filled .On the far side of the bridge on the right hand side is now the entrance to Total Fitness .

Why do you think this?
I did notice someone had graffitied the bridge.

I have changed me mind, and you are right, the thing which confused me is the fact that the road is going uphill as it approaches the Ben Johnson, and looking on google earth, the old road, which is still there in parts, is set quite bit to the side of the existing dual carriageway, and as the road went past the entrance to Reeds, it did dip slightly, and then rises up as it goes past the Ben Johnson, before going dowhill towards the bottom junction, the dual carriageway was built without that dip.

As regards the graffiti on the bridge, it looks like it was an advert for a whiskey called Mac
