The River Brent continues beneath the junction of the A406 and A41. This photo is taken from the pedestrian area on the southwest side of Cooper Road. In the foreground is a disused concrete bridge that used to give access to the North Circular from what is currently Brent Cross Gardens. It probably dates back to the 1930's. Immediately above is a sliproad from the A41 giving access to the North Circular and to Brent Cross via Cooper Road. There is also a roundabout at this level, the opposite side of which can be seen through the arches on the left of the photo, where the North Circular itself is visible. Above and behind the white and blue truck on the sliproad is the bridge carrying through traffic on the A41.
