M25 Motorway near South Mimms

Viewed from the Blanche Lane overbridge, between South Mimms and Ridge, and between Junctions 22 and 23, construction work is under way to widen the motorway from three lanes to four. The crane is supporting a pile driver that is hammering vertical sheet metal piles into the ground to prevent erosion and collapse of the banks of the original cutting at the bridge. The repetitive percussive thud of the piling operation can be heard several miles away.
