These are great, thank you! It looks like the spaces either side of that different pier are wider than the others, which again supports the theory that it would have stood in the central reservation.

But for me, the real "Mind blown" moment on seeing the plan was that the River Roding has been diverted - I only walked there on Thursday but didn't have a clue! No wonder it seems so straight!
Where the M11 crosses Chigwell Road, there is a bridge over nothing just to the east of the M11. This was the bridge over the river pre M11.
The area has regularly had a flood problem from the Roding, a number of times it happened while the M11 works were happening. I had to walk home from school a number of times due to Charlie Browns roundabout being under water.
It happened yesterday, with flooding on the A113 at Charlie Brown's and the A406 west of the M11 merge. A1400 also affected at Gants Hill.

You're welcome! Though my only nagging doubt is that at the "opposite" end of the junction, all the bridge piers at the southbound "bridge over nothing" (M12 diverge) look identical.
