EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the construction of the Second Severn Crossing, an iconic bridge that connects the M4 Motorway between New Passage, Pilning, and Severn Beach in South Gloucestershire. The image showcases a deck launch gantry, standing tall against the backdrop of this monumental project. The gantry takes center stage as it diligently installs deck units onto the bridge structure. Its imposing presence is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. This snapshot freezes time during an era when progress was being made on this vital transportation link. Commissioned by Laing, renowned artist Terence Cuneo embarked on capturing the essence of various construction sites through his masterful paintings. This particular photograph served as inspiration for one such artwork. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the 1990s, our imagination transports us back to witness firsthand the intricate machinery and meticulous craftsmanship involved in building such an impressive feat of infrastructure. It reminds us of how far we have come and serves as a reminder that every great achievement begins with humble beginnings. Let this image be a tribute to all those who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes to bring forth progress and connectivity for generations to come.
