A50 descending toward Normacot
The photo illustrates some of the destruction to the local area wrought by the A50 dualling scheme. A crying shame that the earlier proposal for the M64 was not implemented instead (see http://pathetic.org.uk/unbuilt/m64/ for details).

A50 - domed footbridge off Box Lane
In dualling the A50 between Blythe Bridge and the A500, the builders employed a series of interesting footbridge designs. This is the first, with domes over the abutments. For a similar example, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2342380 .

Original site of Alexandra CP School
Taken in 1997 during the construction of the new A50 trunk road, this photo shows the derelict site formerly occupied by the original Alexandra County Primary school. This was demolished in about 1995 when a replacement school had opened nearby in Meir Road. The tarmaced area was the playground with prefab classrooms occupying the foreground area. The main school building stood where the pile of bricks is. To the left is the Royal Mail delivery depot. At the present time (2012) this site is still derelict but much more overgrown than in this photo. See also the photo of the school during demolition.

A50 - footbridge off Recreation Road
In dualling the A50 between Blythe Bridge and the A500, the builders employed a series of interesting footbridge designs. This is the third type, a single steelwork span with abutments surmounted by large "O-rings" that carry lights.
