A141 OVERBRIDGE

There are only two road overbridges between Peterborough and Ely and the one on the A141 west of March is the better. The shot to the west is excellent but that to the east was not good 20 years ago and is much worse now. OK if you're expecting plenty of eastbound traffic, as on a Saturday morning in the '80's but not much good now.
