I posted a reply to this a while ago - its gone awol!Anywho, since then, found the link I wanted -'Heading east along the cut three road bridges and one multi storey car park were constructed. Along with an exit slip. Next to Woodhouse Lane bridge is a bridge which has since been used by The BBC as a car park. This bridge was originally constructed to take a dual carriageway(A660 Upgrade) over the inner ring road and out to the north of the city. This project never seen the light of day and until recently the BBC used it as a car park'.

I'm passing there later today, think i'll snap it myself now lol
