I enjoyed that Gibbo. We had two similar road bridges in our part of the world that I can remember driving over, Hogarth Roundabout on A4 and Gallows Corner on Southend Arterial Road:

There was one in Bristol too Mick, some people put it about that it was the Birmingham one that had been moved there but they were mistaken.

Haven't watched more than a little of it, can't stand the commentary, but we have a similar road bridge here on the approach to the Tyne bridge.
Utter chaos here now as it is falling to bits and being demolished.
Another commentary that grates on the ears and best muted.

Likewise about the commentary on the Tyneside one.
That though is similar to the Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham not like the Camp Hill flyover.
Spaghetti Junction is suffering from the same sort of rot.

I remember a similar disruption to The Brent Cross Flyover 8 or 9 years ago when they advised that structural expansion joints needed replacing, Hmmm!!

Re: Look, no hard hats or dayglow overalls.
Has me wondering about the Tees Flyover too.
Only use it to get to Whitby once a year but more frequently to daughter #2 who lives close to it but on the far side. As does granddaughter #1 and great granddaughter #1.
