Weymouth Relief Road (11) This shows the Bincombe railway bridge over the old A354. The new road will pass along the far side of the railway skirting round the west (right) of the hill in the distance, the Knoll. The strip lynchets on the left are running along the south side of the Bincombe valley

Weymouth Relief Road (8) View from the eastern edge of the line of the new road looking south down the hill towards West Farm , Lower Bincombe. The southern facing slope of the ridgeway is very steep here and the gradient of the road will be levelled out by a cutting and an embankment. This is the point where the cutting (behind the point of view) will become an embankment. Already excavated material has started to be put in place for the embankment. The width of the embankment will require the demolition of the house at West farm on the right of the image. The Bincombe road will be accessed by slip roads with restricted access. Northbound traffic on the new road will have no access to Bincombe and local Bincombe traffic will have no access to the southbound new road. There will be a bridge for the Bincombe road will pass under the embankment
