EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction of the Second Severn Crossing, located on the M4 Motorway in South Gloucestershire. Taken under the artistic direction of Terence Cuneo, commissioned by Laing for their construction sites, this image showcases the intricate process involved in building this iconic bridge. In the foreground, two sturdy concrete piers stand tall as a testament to human engineering and ingenuity. Behind them, a towering gantry can be seen diligently installing deck units onto the bridge structure. The sheer scale of machinery and equipment used is awe-inspiring, highlighting the magnitude of this construction project. The photograph offers a glimpse into the bustling activity that characterized this 1990s era endeavor. It serves as a reminder of how infrastructure projects like these shape our landscapes and connect communities. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this print by A© Historic England Archive perfectly encapsulates both the technical mastery required for such an undertaking and Cuneo's ability to capture it with artistic finesse. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of not only our progress but also our collective determination to overcome challenges and build structures that stand as testaments to human achievement.
