Gallery:M606
This is new end of the M606 motorway, with a view of Bradford in the distance. Basically, the road now ends in a gyratory system with the A6177 outer Bradford ring road.

I found this map from the 1970's at a bootsale showing a proposed route for an extended M606. This of course never happened, but you can see from the map it would have linked in with the city centre ring road, some of which was built in the 1990's.

In 2004 the terminus of the M606 motorway, otherwise known as Staygate junction in Bradford was rebuilt to include a northbound link to the city's outer ring road. This completed the remaining section of the famous unfinished grade separated junction which occupied this space for well over thirty years. The southbound link was constructed in the early 1990's. Included here, is one Bradford Council's press releases from their 2004 'Community Pride' newsletter showing before and after pictures.

Just on from the new junction is the remainder of the reserved land strip from the unfinshed GSJ. (Don't worry the horse in the photo was only sleeping, it woke up soon after I took this photo). This view looking down towards West Bowling and then onto the city centre.

Another view of the new junction looking south. Here you can see the difference in the land height. The original line of the unfinished GSJ was much lower than this and beared down to the left of this photo.

M606 Staygate junction improvement looking north. At last we finally know that there was space under the bridges for a dualed motorway with hard shoulders

M606 Looking south from Staygate Junction. The new north bound carriageway is in place and so are the infamous cones as this photo was taken just prior to opening.
