Belgrave Flyover Closure

Around 34 thousand drivers in Leicester will have to find a new route into work this morning...

The Belgrave flyover - the concrete road-in-the-sky which links Belgrave Road to the city centre - closed for ever at midnight on Friday as work starts on demolishing this giant piece of seventies architecture.

It's been a busy route in and out the Leicester for the last 40 years or so.
