EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable construction process of the Second Severn Crossing, a bridge that connects M4 Motorway between New Passage and Severn Beach in South Gloucestershire. The image captures a pivotal moment as deck units of the bridge are being meticulously installed by a specially designed launch gantry known as JLP01_60010_03. The sheer magnitude of this engineering feat is evident in the photograph, with workers dwarfed by the massive machinery and towering structure. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to overcome challenges posed by such ambitious projects. Catalogued under the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust, this image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of British infrastructure development during the 1990s. The attention to detail and precision required for constructing such bridges is awe-inspiring. As we reflect on this snapshot from history, it reminds us of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements and our ability to shape our environment. This print not only captures an iconic landmark but also symbolizes progress, innovation, and collaboration among various stakeholders involved in its creation. It stands as a testament to both human achievement and our ongoing commitment towards building better transportation networks for future generations.
