derek ,i am confused,if the first picture shows what looks like the tunnel toll booths roughly just right off centre,then where does that flyover lead to? and also looks very long,is that the one that was knocked down cos it just doesnt look like it is in the right place to me.looks like it goes down argyle street on that picture.
